IFWT_Dave Benton 5

Everyday someone loses a loved one to Cancer. This is a disease that is ravaging our society, and leaving loved ones in disarray. However, if you’ve ever had to witness a family member afflicted by Cancer, you know just how hard the disease can be on the physical and mental state of the person. You would also know that these are some of the strongest people you will ever encounter.Case and point. Illinois news anchor at the WCIA station, Dave Benton bravely announces to viewers his terminal cancer diagnosis, and why he will continue to work and serve after being told he has four to six months to live. Watch touching video inside.

The saddest part of the whole ordeal is that Dave had been battling the disease with radiation treatments for months, which he thought worked only to find out that it had come back more aggressively and larger this time around.

Dave is truly an everyday hero. We are sending love and prayers for him and his family. Boy do I hate Cancer….
