Torry Holt: For kids with a parent facing cancer, this NFL legend is a champ

On today's episode, Kelin and I chat with Torry Holt.

You may know him as a football legend who starred at NC State and went on to become one of the greatest wide receivers of all-time in the NFL with the St. Louis Rams.

But others know him better for his impact off the field -- as the guy with a huge heart who would do anything for kids who have a parent facing cancer.

As a young man, Torry lost his mother to cancer. Hear how that experience shaped him, prepared him for his NFL career, and laid the foundation for the charitable work of the Holt Brothers Foundation, along with his brother Terrence.

About the Podcast

Man Up to Cancer
The show built for men facing cancer, and the people who love us!
I'm your host, Trevor Maxwell. I'm a stage IV colon cancer survivor, and I've got a message for other men: You don't have to go through cancer alone.

On the Man Up to Cancer podcast, you can expect raw, unfiltered conversations about men, cancer, and our experiences. My guests will be other patients, survivors, advocates, health experts, and friends from #cancerland.

We'll tackle a wide range of topics including cancer screenings, chemo, friendship, scars, sex and intimacy, grief, and the physical suck-fest of cancer. But .. PLOT TWIST.. we're also going to joke, laugh, and have fun.
