You're Invited to Hear Jim Kelly's Inspiring Cancer Story
|
|
|
Throughout his pro football career with the Buffalo Bills, Jim Kelly was known for his strength and motto: “Kelly tough.”
Built on the importance of being mentally and physically strong and able to bounce back from injuries, the motto took a on new – and more important – meaning in 2013 when Kelly was diagnosed with cancer in his upper jaw. After a long and challenging road, in August 2014, doctors gave Kelly the good news that they could no longer find evidence of any cancer.
Now he’s on a mission to help other people with head and neck cancer (HNC) through the YourCancer Game Plan program. As part of the initiative, Kelly will discuss how the positive attitude and persistence that he learned as an athlete helped him in his journey, as well as the importance of nutrition and support from his friends and family.
Kelly will be joined by advocacy partners; The Head and Neck Cancer Alliance and SPOHNC (Support for People with Oral and Head and Neck Cancer), in addition to Savor Health, a nutrition provider for people with cancer.
