In July 2009, Jim Stynes was diagnosed with cancer and given less than a year to live. The diagnosis caught him by surprise he was 42, healthy and didn t have time for illness: he was director of the Reach Foundation, president of Melbourne Football Club, father of two primary school-aged kids, husband of Sam. Jim s ability to use mind over matter and never give in gave him an two extra years on the prognosis. This book is Jim s legacy. Unflinching in its detail, Jim talks about what he found out about himself when things were at their worst about what really counts when you re stacking it all up."
