Joining Bryn Griffiths and Dave Jamieson on our first 'Cancer In The Room' episode is BlueJays Broadcaster Buck Martinez.
BUCK
Almost two decades as a player and later a manager in the major leagues, Buck moved into the broadcast booth and is widely considered one of the games’ best announcers as voice of the Toronto Blue Jays. He’s also a published author, his most recent book “How to Make the Great Game of Baseball Even Better”.
BRYN and DAVE
Just a couple of sportscasters from Canada who’ve dealt with cancer, beaten it back and now push forward living the best life possible. They can’t say it’s been easy, because it hasn’t been. But they’ve kept a great attitude and now continue to surge along doing things they love- including talking about sports.
Bryn lost his whole stomach to cancer while Dave dealt with throat cancer. But here they are… both trying to do something positive, to shine a light on the sports people who’ve taken on cancer, getting right back to a regular lifestyle.
We recognize not every cancer story has a happy ending, but there are many people who’ve survived the dark days, amazingly have come out smiling, realizing there’s still lots of life ahead of them! PLUS they’re more than happy to share their story and their sports career with you.
We both want this podcast to be where you see hope, positivity and many more things.
