Jim Gault needs help

Posted: 05.10.2011

Dear Gymnastic Friends,

I am writing to all of you with an urgent request.

One of our own, "Jim Gault," who coaches in Columbia, South Carolina is in a battle for his life. His prostate cancer has returned and spread. The medical cost are spiraling out of control. Living on retirement and Social Security plus trying to work part time in the age group program isn't enough to cover the massive health costs. For example, Jim recently spent 8 days in the hospital with pneumonia which cost $52,000 dollars. What Medicare doesn't cover, Jim will be responsible for.

 

Because of the problem we are beginning a national campaign to raise medical funds for Jim. He coached at the University of Arizona for 18 years after many years in the Age Group Program and the Elite Program. After moving to South Carolina, he began working for a former gymnast who owns a gym there. For more information about his coaching career please google "Jim Gault."

An account for Jim has been established at Regions Bank in Birmingham, Alabama and I will be the coordinator. Regions Bank has an office near Jim's home in Leesville, South Carolina.

You may also wish to contact Jim with cards, letters, email, or by phone. I know from personal experience how uplifting hearing from everyone can be.

Robert Dillard
