Jim Seneca was just beginning his career in law enforcement in 1987 when a routine doctor’s visit changed everything. What he thought was the flu turned out to be leukemia—and with only a 30% chance of survival, the odds were stacked against him. Jim fought through, recovered, and went on to serve with the Aurora Police Department. Out of his experience, he founded Cops Fighting Cancer, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children facing the same battle he once endured. In this episode, Jim shares his journey, the impact of Cops Fighting Cancer on families in crisis, and how Colorado law enforcement unites each year to bring hope and joy to children in the hospital.
