Ride for Jim Hambrick
Jim Hambrick is a firefighter for the City of Forest Park Fire Department and EMS, and has previously worked for Fayetteville Fire Department. He is a loving husband and father of two beautiful girls. His wife is a stay-at-home mom, and he has been the sole bread winner for the family. In August 2006, Jim was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and underwent major surgery in September to remove 70% of his esophagus and 20% of his stomach. Although the surgery was successful, he still faces a long road of recovering and additional treatment therapies.
Please join us in Forest Park on Saturday, April 14th for a motorcycle charity ride to help raise money to defray the additional cost of follow-up care, and cancer treatments.
