Why am I serving as Chair for this year’s Real Men Wear Pink campaign?
I am donating my time and resources to RMWP bluntly because Erin, my wife, has breast cancer; this also means that WE have cancer. Erin and I started our lives together over 20 years ago, living and working side-by-side almost every day. We share in everything, and this includes a cancer battle. Since her diagnosis one year ago and our first visit to Vanderbilt, we've seen firsthand the developments in medication and treatment plans that allow doctors to target cancer and stop growth. Because of research, trials, and newly approved medications rapidly hitting the market, patients are living longer with hopes of a cure for this dreaded disease looking better every day. The hope we have is due in no small part to the research funded by the American Cancer Society.
Who’s your reason why?
We can all find lots of cancer statistics, but chances are you know someone that has been affected by cancer. For us, it's something we live with every morning we wake up. Will you follow us in donating to ACS to help find a cure for Erin and so many other wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, children, friends and loved ones affected by cancer?
