I share the sentiment, but I do not know who Jimmy V is.
Jim Valvano was a college basketball coach at NC State. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and a short time before his death he gave a great speech acknowledging his mortality but told others “don’t give up, don’t ever give up”. He is the inspiration for the V Foundation to fight cancer. The point is that his speech is very motivational and uplifting. Here is a link to the video of his speech. Watch the video, reading the transcript does not do the speech justice.
