In what can only be described as a miraculous trip across the nation, Jim completed the Million Dollar Blindfolded Drive to raise money for the cure of paralysis on time ... and in one piece.
The icing on the cake was Jims feature interview on NBCs July 8th TODAY SHOW WITH KATIE COURIC!!!!! The show is filmed in NYC Jim was in California which meant he had to get up at 3 am to be on ESTs running of the live show at 7:00 am..
Katie centered the interview on Jims relationship with John Edwards and the time when John was in practice with David Kirby (Edwards and Kirby). John represented Jim during his trial proceedings. Jim spoke candidly about the need for trial attorneys such as John that can stand up for people with lives shattered by corporate recklessness or medical negligence.
