"I am delighted to serve as honorary chairman for this memorial walk that honors Jim's work with Lake Christian Ministries as well as the legacy he left for his family, friends and the Smith Mountain Lake community," said Cameron.

He would be so pleased to know that the proceeds from the walk will enable the work that he loved so much to continue."
