Every Heart Beats True – The Jim Stynes story

December 15th, 2010 by Tony Griffin

Jim Stynes is an incredible man. Earlier this week I sat with my girlfriend and watched a documentary called Every Heart Beats True about Jim and how he is currently battling cancer. As someone who has seen a lovedone battle this disease up close it brought back a lot of memeories. It reminded me of my own fathers bravery and I saw many similarities between Jim and my father from a personality point of view.

Jim was an elite athlete and played Australian Football to the very highest standard. He was arguably one of the best players in the history of the sport. But it is his courage of the field that is really inspiring people. Wow. He is using every tool at his disposal to beat this disease, from the most alternative to the widely acceptable.

The documentary has to be seen. It will remind you of all that s beautiful about human beings. The courage, the bravery, the capacity for love, for overcoming. It is all there. Jim Stynes I really really salute you brother.
