Cancer Survivor & Love Hope Strength Foundation Co-Founder In March 2000, Chippendale was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia and was given a 50 percent chance of survival. Only through a generous bone marrow transplant from a German donor was he able to successfully beat cancer. Inspired by his battle, Chippendale launched the Love Hope Strength Foundation in 2006 with co-founder and fellow cancer survivor Mike Peters of the Welsh rock band The Alarm. LHS is the first-ever international, music-centric cancer charity that has provided free treatment to over 50,000 patients around the globe and set up cancer center projects in Nepal, Peru, the U.K. and throughout Africa. Their efforts have translated into more than 30,000 new potential bone marrow donors, over 100 matches and dozens of lives saved. LHSF is now one of the fastest growing cancer foundations in the world, having produced or been involved with over 300 events on all seven continents. Among its major achievements, Love Hope Strength has hosted the first-ever concerts at some of the world's highest points, including Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Fuji, Mt. Snowdon, Pike's Peak, Machu Picchu, Mt. Everest and atop New York City's Empire State Building.
Documentary Film Producer Chippendale has produced two non-profit documentaries that go to support the LHSF:
"Everest Rocks" features the LHSF team, musicians, cancer survivors and mountaineers on a musical journey up Mt. Everest to raise money for a local cancer hospital in Nepal and set the Guinness Book of World Records for the highest concert on land. Produced by Alex Coletti in 2008, the documentary made its television debut on Palladia, MTV's elite high-definition music channel, and NBC Universal.
"More to Live For" is an award-winning documentary directed by Noah Hutton, producer and son of Timothy Hutton and Debra Winger, which has played at film and music festivals worldwide. "More to Live For" is the story of three lives, all shaken by cancer and dependent upon the one vital bone marrow match that could save them. The individuals are similar only in their fate and prolific accomplishments: Grammy Award-winning jazz musician Michael Brecker; Seun Adebiyi, a young Nigerian training to become the first ever Nigerian winter Olympic athlete in any sport; and Chippendale.
Television Correspondent Chippendale hosted a two-time Emmy-nominated lifestyle television segment called "Last Call with James Chippendale" during the sports show "Out of Bounds," which aired on the NBC affiliate in Dallas, TX. The segment showcased athletes, musicians or celebrities and their favorite place to eat, drink, dance, play or hang with friends and family. Some of the celebrities featured on the show include Grammy Award-winning singer Adele, The Saints' Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian, Indy 500 champion and "Dancing with the Stars" Season 5 winner Helio Castroneves and Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin.
Subject of Baylor Hospital Advertising Campaign Chippendale was the subject of a massive television, billboard, print and online marketing campaign for Baylor Hospital Cancer Center. During the its two-year run, the campaign generated millions of media impressions.
Public Speaker Chippendale has made more than 50 public speaking appearances on various topics, covering everything from his cancer battle and work with filmmaking nonprofit development to his industry expertise with his music insurance business.
