This week on They Became Super Heroes Podcast, I’m speaking to Vin Kampf and Dino Verrelli of Project Purple. Project Purple is a non-profit organization created to raise awareness, support patients and families affected by the disease and fund research efforts to defeat pancreatic cancer. In this episode we’ll be going into some personal stories including Dino’s experience during and after losing his father to cancer in 2011 and his promise to never give up on defeating the disease. We’ll also be getting into some of the ways CrossFitters are contributing to this great cause. This is a heartfelt episode you’re sure to enjoy, for more on how you can show your support please visit projectpurple.org/, enjoy the show.
