Team captain, leading the team to its most successful season in school history.
In recognition of John,
Live Like Lou was proud
to partner with the
Permobil Foundation to

a new Boston Collegebranded power wheelchair! Jim was diagnosed with ALS on July 3, 2023.
Jim had to stop working and go on long-term
disability due to his illness. He has been able to
travel to California with his wife and caregiver
Paula to visit their son James, a pilot for the US
Coast Guard. Jim is a true family man and loves
spending time with them. Jim is an avid New
England sports fan, especially the Red Sox and
Patriots. He is also a die-hard car fanatic with an
obsession for Corvettes. Jim is a true 昀椀ghter and
is staying positive on his journey with ALS.
2024
With hundreds of participants from 73 gyms and
more than 1,000 donors, the funds raised will
truly help leave ALS better than we found it.
