I am sure that brain tumor research can be elevated greatly by the efforts of the public. It's in great part because of them that medical research is continually done since their donations help it along. What about the activity they engage in whenever they take it upon themselves to become involved in events open to the public? These are actions which are meant to help bring awareness to cancer and I believe that it's worth noting the greater names which have helped on the matter, too.
It seems like there has been, at least, one case of a celebrity that has made news recently. Rona, the sister of Olivia Newton-John, passed away because of brain cancer in April. However, you may be surprised to know that this wasn't Rona's first bout with this type of condition. Twenty years or so ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Nonetheless, it seemed like she remained positive throughout it all, surrounding herself with only those that she loved and cared about.
It's apparent that organizations like Voices Against Brain Cancer know just how important certain events are, the Sounding Off For A Cure concert standing as the most recent to talk about it. During said event, many guests will be honored but I was surprised to see Matt Cappotelli amongst them. However, I feel like my surprise will be different from others. Brain tumor research aside, the reason for my surprise comes from the fact that the wrestling audience has not heard much from him in recent memory.
Cappotelli was signed by World Wrestling Entertainment and he was part of the company between 2005 and 2009. He never truly took off as a great star, like many were expecting, and the reason came about after an announcement he made. He said that he was diagnosed with a grade 2/3 astrocytoma tumor, which was cancerous and had to be removed. Even though he wouldn't return to in-ring action, he was fortunate in that the surgery done was successful, the tumor being removed, rendering Cappotelli cancer-free.
I think that there are a number of big names that can be tied to brain tumor research for the sake of increasing awareness. These are some of the more popular names that can be seen, though some of them will appeal to certain audience more than others. For example, Newton-John is one that will have much more notoriety than, for example, Cappotelli. Nonetheless, both names can be associated with this strong action and I can only hope that it is carried out in due time.
