He was seen wearing his Varsity Blues jersey, and shared that there’s an opportunity to buy signed and unsigned jerseys.

“Thank you…for the love, the prayers, the support, and for making this jersey mean something far bigger than a movie. Endlessly grateful for all of you. Proceeds go directly toward helping with treatment and supporting families walking the same path,” he wrote, adding: Promise I’ll get the signed ones turned around quicker this time.”
Kimberly added in the comments: “You’re a wizard. Bouncing back baby!! 😍😍😍.”
James made a rare appearance through video message at a Dawson’s Creek event in September.
