Jim is alive because of the actions of anonymous people online, fighting to get him a lung transplant after his lungs were scarred by radiation treatment to fight cancer – Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
If you only watch one video today, this should be it. It has been called ‘the best video on the internet’ and ‘one of the greatest stories in human history’. I had a tear in my eye watching it and I actually clapped at the end on my own in front of my computer.
“Today I breath through someone else lungs while anothers blood flows through my veins. I have faith in people, I believe in God and the internet is my religion” – Jim Gilliam
Jim talks about an interesting idea that ”God is what happens when humanity is connected…and the internet is how we’re all connected” therefore the internet is his religion.
