Ep. 14: Craig Pollard The Tiger Gene

Ever wonder what it’d be like to have the burning desire plus talent to play major league baseball—only to have cancer strike you out?  Ever wonder what it’d feel like to suffer through years of chemo and radiation, seriously compromised immunity, a near-fatal blood infection, severe inflammation of the limbs, sepsis, and gangrene—resulting in the removal of your spleen, both feet, and other body parts?
Ever wonder what it’d feel like to be grateful for the nightmare—as it also led to an All-Star spouse and an experience far more fulfilling than being the next Steve Garvey: providing more than 1,400 college scholarships to other cancer survivors?
If so, then you’ll love hearing the story of Craig Pollard, founder of Cancer for College, an outfit his pal (and Cancer for College Celebrity Spokesman) Will Ferrell calls “the purest charity I know."
