In 2016, Jim started the initial steps in creating this wonderful event called Coastal Laps 4 Life. When speaking with single mothers and local Women’s Centers here in Volusia County, Jim recognized that there was a need to provide ways that would help raise money for these centers to help single mothers. The use of Ultrasound Machines is the number one method to help show a mother the love someone can have for their own child. These machines are expensive, and most of these locations are underfunded and unable to purchase a machine as well as provide materials. Working with local high schools and different Knights of Columbus Councils, the laps 4 life is that way to provide both funds and awareness for this need. Jim has passed away recently, and he will be deeply missed, he left us with a legacy of love and passion for doing great things. Jim started something beautiful, so now we will continue his good works in being the voice for the unborn and providing assistance to all that walk through the doors of a woman’s center alone and scared.
