Jim Valvano's Speech

Jimmy V was a man who coached college basketball and then he got cancer. He gave a speech when he knew he was going to die soon. His speech was important because more people are getting effected by cancer then any other disease. But our country wasn't spending enough money on cancer research. In the speech Jimmy announced the Jimmy V Foundation witch is dedicated to saving lives by helping to find a cure for cancer. He also says "Don't give up don't ever give up".    Now his foundation has raised over 100 million dollars for cancer research.  One line I like in his speech says every day you should laugh, think, and cry.
