After years of helping others and serving our country, an area fire marshal looks for a helping hand from the community as he battles cancer.

On Sunday, Jan. 2, the Chagrin Valley Fire Department will host a donor drive from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in hopes that a potential donor for 50-year-old fire marshal Jim Finley joins the national marrow donor “Be The Match Registry.”

News 5 first introduced you to Finley back in September of 2020, when he raised money to restore a boat to teach other veterans how to sail. Now, all these years later, this 50-year-old’s health has a new enemy after his doctors diagnosed him this past April with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Back in April, News 5 covered a GoFundMe for Finley when he was first diagnosed. It raised more than $87,000.
