To whom it may concern,
Colon cancer attacks the lives of over 130,000 people per year. A far more alarming statistic is the number of diagnosed patients who live in fear, desperation, and worst of all, living without hope. The fact is that with proper knowledge, care, and consideration this number can be significantly reduced. Dealing with colon cancer is the most difficult challenge a person can face. One for which he or she holds no identification, and this can be the core of the disease.
That which we do not understand we fear. Those individuals affected by colon cancer must recognize the prospect for a healthy and thriving lifestyle. Former major league baseball star, Eric Davis, was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1997. Davis, "I didn't know anything about colon cancer then, but decided I was going to do everything in my power to beat it", he did exactly that. Nearly two months after surgery and numerous chemotherapy treatments he hit a game winning homerun in game 5 of the American League Championship Series.
Examples such as Davis' are essential to the survival of colon cancer. By identifying with a visible person, potential for recovery and prevention is boundless. "Hitting from the Heart" will be a DVD committed to sharing Davis' inspirational journey. A combination of baseball skills and motivation, "Hitting from the Heart" will gain exposure through baseball and sustain significance through an uplifting message of hope. Davis, "People saw me as being heroic but I was no more heroic than I was with other injuries I had. . . but everyone can relate to someone with cancer." Indeed this will be the principal objective of the "Hitting from the Heart" DVD.
This DVD will help educate individuals on the facts of colon cancer, as well as motivate and inspire athletes to overcome any obstacle. Davis, "The fact that I was in that uniform, out there competing, it made the fans see another side of me and allowed them to learn something about recovering from cancer that maybe they thought they'd never see or learn." A portion of the proceeds from "Hitting from the Heart" will benefit The Eric Davis Foundation for cancer education.
