UFC fan favorite Joe Lauzon and his family have already beat the biggest opponent they could ever face. Lauzon’s son was diagnosed with cancer just days after he was born last year. Fortunately young Joey Lauzon has the fighting spirit like his dad and was able to overcome the illness.

Lauzon is rallying for a donation to the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk, which was held in September. Donations are still open to the cause, and Lauzon is making a push for the end.

From Lauzon’s Jimmy Fund Walk page:

Most of you know my son was born with cancer. What you might NOT know is that we are doing the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Cancer walk in September… and you can join the team and walk with us.

Last year we raised close to $75,000… And this year we hope to top that!

We formed a team, will have awesome shirts, will all meet up together and walk/run together as a giant mob of cancer fighting badasses.

If you aren’t local, you can always donate too.

If nothing else, sharing this would be awesome.

All of the money goes directly to the Jimmy Fund… This is not any kind of personal fundraising that goes to me. They helped out our family so much and we just want to pay it forward!
