He grew up in London, Ontario, and lived most recently in the Beaches neighborhood of Toronto with his wife and their Bernese Mountain Dog.James was first diagnosed with cancer, Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (A-RMS), a rare and often lethal form of pediatric sarcoma, at age twenty-six. Following nine months of intensive treatment, he was deemed "cancer-free," returning to his routine of hard work, exercise, and spending time with friends and family, along with a new appreciation for life's ups and downs.Unfortunately, a few weeks before his twenty-eighth birthday, James's cancer returned and he restarted even more aggressive treatment. Ten months later, following a routine procedure, he went into cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated.The James J. Hammond Fund was established to positively impact many future patients facing similarly dire situations and, ultimately, offer them a cure.For more information, visit JJHFund.org Read More Read Less
