We first met Grimes in September 2014 soon after his bleak diagnosis for stage 4 melanoma.

"It's very hard to hear that you're dying. It's almost surreal," he said then. 

With the help of friends, #RoyalsWinForTim started trending for the huge Royals fan who got to see not only one World Series run but two and even a World Series championship.

Now, weeks before opening day for the 2016 season, Tim Grimes is not only #stillhere but he says he's #NotGoingAnywhere.
