Cancer is a fight that seems to be an automatic loss, but most people don’t get the chance to step into the ring and fight it.   I’ve been given the unique opportunity to do that and I want to punch cancer in the face!

My father, Fred Petrone, is currently battling cancer in a hospice home as we speak (this will update accordingly) and I wish I could do something more for him but I know I can’t.  This event is my drive and way of focus!

I lost a very close friend in Michael Lombardo in 2024 from this disease and his legacy is the reason I’m stepping in this ring.   I owe it to both of them to do what I can and do my part. 

Also, my niece Lucy Mills, who just in her mid-20s has to deal with this unthinkable disease.  It’s not fair.  This is why I’m fighting.  This is why I’m here. Let’s KO cancer however we can!
