If you've shot any of the action matches (USPSA, Steel Challenge, or Multigun) at ENGC, or been a member of this forum for awhile, you've probably talked with or read comments by James Schober (mudnrox).
At ENGC, James has been shooting with us for a number of years---you've probably seen him ROing at the Great Plains Sectional, Area 3, and pretty much EVERY local match (USPSA, Steel Challenge, and Multigun). He helps out all the time, designs and builds stages, and currently is on the ENPS Committee as both the Steel Challenge Coordinator, and the webmaster for the ENPS website. On the forum here, he's been part of a large number of discussions.
At ENGC, he's helped us out a HUGE amount. If you've shot an action shooting sport match at ENGC in the past several years, he's had a hand in making you able to do that.
On August 8th, right after working Area 3, James was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer in the motor cortex section of his brain that controls the right side of his body. He has a wife, a daughter (who is a senior in high school this year)--and the doctors have given him 15 months to live. He's 45 years old.
A GoFundMe account has been set up for Jim for a specific reason: As Jim's motor functions decay over time, he simply won't be able to do as much--including walking up stairs. The GoFundMe is specifically written to raise money to 1) install a shower on the main floor of his home, and 2) do other construction work at his house so that he can go HOME and stay with his family as long as possible.
This is the link to the GoFundMe account:

Feel free to share the link to others, too.
I'm crossposting this to the Shooting Sports subforum as many of the people there know James directly.
