[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] wants you to 'Race for a Cure'
"Breast cancer has been a major player in my life," he said. "And now I have a 6-week old baby girl. It already affected me because my mom is a survivor, but now it affects me in a whole other aspect. Because when my daughter decides she's ready to have kids, it'll affect her kids. So it's a generation thing."
Since putting his face on the Susan G. Komen Charlotte Race for the Cure in 2009, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] says people stop him in the community and tell them his stories. He loves it.
"A lot of times people get down on themselves because it's nothing someone else did to them, it's something their body did to itself," he said. "They get mad at themselves or beat down... but the best thing you can do is be positive."
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] learned to be positive from his mother, Sandra Hill. She's now a 6-year survivor. She recently had a small recurrence of the disease. He says she got through the chemo with comedy.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] has a Race for the Cure team which already has over 500 people signed up. His team name is "The [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Warriors". If you sign up to join his team, you get a specially-designed breast cancer "[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Warriors" shirt. He likes the shirt, but emphasizes that's not what it's about.
"It's not about the jersey. The jersey represents something bigger than what's actually on the jersey. It represents the CURE. We're running for one purpose and that's to cure this disease."
To register to walk, run,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], volunteer or donate to Charlotte's Race for the Cure, go to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
