Is it possible that brain tumor research can be helped by anyone? I believe this to be true, especially when you consider the kinds of efforts that the public can put forth on the matter. They know that their actions can account for a lot, whether they are competing in events open to the public helping to raise awareness or simply granting donations to reputable organizations. However, what are some of the bigger names that the public in general may - or may not - be familiar with?
When talking about recent celebrity news in this regard, Olivia Newton-John's sister passed away due to cancer back in April. Rona, a model and actress, cannot say that this was her first instance of cancer. About two decades ago, Rona was diagnosed with breast cancer and her strength was apparent throughout both cases. Being able to surround oneself with loved ones is very important because, more than anything else, I think that it can prove to be the greatest comfort in times such as these.
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.
For those who don't know, Cappotelli was in World Wrestling Entertainment from 2005 to 2009 and it was sad that he never reached a level of superstardom many thought he was capable of. As he wrestling in the developmental territory known as Ohio Valley Wrestling, it was discovered that he had a grade 2/3 astrocytoma, which proved to be a cancerous tumor that he had to have removed. The surgery was successful but he had not stepped inside of a wrestling ring since making the announcement about the tumor.
When it comes to brain tumor research, I think that there a number of big names worth talking about. Newton-John is clearly going to have a greater audience because it is one that the general public is going to be familiar with. This is especially true compared to others names like Cappotelli, which seems to be recognized by only a specific audience. Regardless, I cannot deny the fact that both names - along with a slew of others - seem to be great when it comes to extending levels of awareness outward.
