Quality

Jim is not a doctor. He is simply a man with locally advanced, recurrent, prostate cancer.

Jim is not a highly polished speaker. But, he has had extensive experience in dealing with other people also going through the prostate cancer experience, so is a highly credible speaker.

Jim doesn't sell anything. He just seeks to help lower the impact of prostate cancer.

Presentation

Any length. eg:

12-minute talk and 12-minute questions to fit in a men's shed smoko.
50-minute talk followed by questions for a prostate cancer support group.

Jim's presentations are organized in modules, so:

he can neatly end a presentation on request
he can do a series of short presentations if that suits you.

Venue

Powerpoint equipped: Jim can bring a usb stick with his presentation.

No Powerpoint: Jim has printed large posters for a smaller audience.

Access for Jim's tiny mobility scooter. Small stairs not a problem.

Jim is also known as JimJimJimJim because of his website.

Where

Within an hour or two's drive of Brisbane.

Exceptions:

someone else pays travel and accommodation (Jim was flown to Adelaide for a couple of presentations)
between 2-4 hours drive - Jim drives and someone pays for disabled accommodation
Jim will be in the area (like a support group presentation in Terrigal, central coast NSW, while Jim was visiting his brother in Newcastle recently.)

Audience

Any group of adults of any size.

Jim does not charge anything, but it is fine if your group has a levy on meetings.

Your group may be interested in Jim's bio. Click here for bio.

Someone already interested in prostate cancer may be interested in Jim YouTube videos featuring stories, Gleason and Epstein scores or bones in advanced prostate cancer.

Memoirs

Jim has never given a complete talk on his life story, so far.

He responded to family pressure to 'write down your stories before it's too late'.

Looking back on childhood, he had some startling realisations - all was not as it had seemed at the time. On top of that, he has had one or two extraordinary events happen in his life.

"I have sometimes used parts of that story to signal an audience that they are going to hear something different."

If you have members that may be interested in getting family stories in print before it is too late, they may be interested in Jim's story. (A personal story - not a 'family tree' kind of thing.)
