In 2001, as an 18-year old collegiate footballer, Bob was diagnosed with cancer just prior to the twin towers terrorist attack. This forced him to shift focus to treating a terrible disease amidst a nationwide tragedy. It wasn't until Bob identified his PURPOSE that he realized the VALUE of his battle with cancer and his family's losses on 9/11/01.
