Just like when he was a player, no one was working harder than Chris Draft.
At his own event, Draft was running around the field, using the microphone to give encouragement to the more than 100 participants at the second annual “Chris Draft Tackling Cancer” event, promoting cancer survivorship.
“We’re tackling cancer,” Draft said. “We’ve got cancer survivors of every type out here, but it takes a team. That’s why their caregivers are here. We’re not fighting for another drug or another diagnostic. We’re fighting for some people and to live life abundantly.”
The more than 100 cancer survivors of all ages and cancer types along with their caregivers represented the likes of Siteman Cancer Center, Mercy Health Cancer Center, Saint Louis University Cancer Center, American Cancer Society, Friends of Kids with Cancer and Lung Cancer Connections, Inc.
