Why are you involved in Coaches vs. Cancer?
"I have faith that sooner, rather than later, we’re going to beat this disease. Scientists tell us this. Doctors tell us this. And I hope my involvement with Coaches vs. Cancer will help us get there. In the past few years alone, we’ve seen amazing progress – the tide is turning in the fight against cancer. Coaches vs. Cancer is a powerful way for our coaching fraternity to be a part of the fight against cancer. If we continue working together, the end of this horrible disease just may be within our reach.
Coaches vs Cancer is special to me because it shows that we not only compete on the court but more importantly we compete in life by helping others. It’s what we do for others and how we help others in trouble, and that’s something that we can do by raising money for people we know that are touched with this disease. We all are familiar with people who have fought this disease and also with people who have lost the battle. It’s important to do this for them, but more importantly, it’s helping people we may not even know.
The role we play is much more then coaching and winning games. It’s about being a part of our communities, representing our institutions in a positive way, and to give back. Being associated with Coaches vs Cancer is our small way of giving back, and if we can make a difference in the fight vs cancer and make life a little easier for those affected or touched by this disease, then we know this is an outstanding win for us".
