I'm sure there are many members of SBR who have had or been touched by cancer. Many more unfortunately will be. My personal story is of losing one of my ears to a tumor as a 21 year old. I've been in remission for almost five years now, and I am amazed at the advancements in medical science to prolong the life of those who are unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with this devastating disease. If guys like Jimmy V and Lance Armstrong can help to keep the disease front and centre in the public consciousness and this in turn raises funds to further develop treatments and medicine, along with care facilities and other things to improve quality of life than it is well worth turning the attention away from the game for a while.
