Attending the opening day DCHS basketball game against Boyd Christian School Tuesday, I knew it was a benefit for local coach Jerry Foster who is bravely facing what is a dreadful disease called cancer. He spoke during the game, and said although he was going through chemotherapy and his doctors said to avoid crowds due to low resistance to germs, coach Foster said he still felt like hugging everyone involved during his moving words. I do a lot of dissemination of information on cancer, cancer awareness, fund raisers, etc, so you know I would think I was aware of how cancer can devastate its hosts, their families and friends and the community in general.
