We are a group of friends and colleagues of the late Jim Plaia who have decided to launch this fundraiser for MSF (Doctors Without Borders) in his memory. MSF is an international, independent medical humanitarian organization that provides medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare.

Those of you who were fortunate enough to have known Jim will understand why we are doing this: he had a very big heart and we are convinced he would have supported this cause. Jim, we mourn not your death, but celebrate your life. Your light will shine forever.
