Brain Tumor Research & Popular Names To Elevate It

By Rob Sutter


I am sure that brain tumor research can be elevated greatly by the efforts of the public. It's in great part because of them that medical research is continually done since their donations help it along. What about the activity they engage in whenever they take it upon themselves to become involved in events open to the public? These are actions which are meant to help bring awareness to cancer and I believe that it's worth noting the greater names which have helped on the matter, too.

In terms of celebrities that have gained attention because of this recently, Olivia Newton-John's sister is definitely worth making note of. Rona passed away back in April because of brain cancer and it's interesting because this wasn't the first time that she had to fight a condition like this. In fact, twenty years or so ago, it was discovered that she had breast cancer as well. I think that both her strength, as well as her ability to surround herself with loved ones, is noteworthy as well.

It's apparent that organizations like Voices Against Brain Cancer know just how important certain events are, the Sounding Off For A Cure concert standing as the most recent to talk about it. During said event, many guests will be honored but I was surprised to see Matt Cappotelli amongst them. However, I feel like my surprise will be different from others. Brain tumor research aside, the reason for my surprise comes from the fact that the wrestling audience has not heard much from him in recent memory.

World Wrestling Entertainment signed Cappotelli on and he was with the company within the time span of 2005 until 2009. While he worked with the company for four years, he wasn't able to wrestle on TV last the developmental deal that he had. He made the announcement that he had a cancerous tumor given the name of grade 2/3 astrocytoma. It required surgery and Cappotelli was fortunate in that it was successful, despite the fact that he has not actively performed in a big promotion since that time.

I think that there are a number of big names that can be tied to brain tumor research for the sake of increasing awareness. These are some of the more popular names that can be seen, though some of them will appeal to certain audience more than others. For example, Newton-John is one that will have much more notoriety than, for example, Cappotelli. Nonetheless, both names can be associated with this strong action and I can only hope that it is carried out in due time.
