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.
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.
I think that brain tumor research can be expanded, in terms of awareness, by just about anyone. You can see this by the efforts that the general public is able to put forth as they take part in events and grant donations to individuals as well. Is it possible that bigger names can have an impact as well? I believe that while Newton-John and Cappotelli are vastly different in terms of appeal, I think that this level of common ground is one that's difficult to argue against.
