In this episode of the Brain & Life podcast, co-host Dr. Daniel Correa is joined by Cam Heyward, defensive tackle for the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers. Cam discusses his experiences with his father, who suffered from a rare brain cancer called a Chordoma, and how they led him to start his advocacy with the Heyward House Foundation. Through his foundation, Cam helps provide scholarships for youth whose parents are suffering from brain cancer and provides much-needed meals, clothing, and books to children in the greater Pittsburgh area. Cam also talks about suffering from concussions while playing in the NFL and how he stays healthy. Dr. Correa is then joined by Brain & Life’s very own Dr. Katy Peters, who shares her expertise as a neurooncologist to explain more about Cam’s father’s experiences.
