I sit down with 1984 Olympic Champion Scott Hamilton to chat about the creation of his Scott Cares Foundation: a national foundation that invests in cutting-edge research and aims to extend and improve the lives of cancer patients and their families. Scott walks us through his inspiration for starting the foundation, what the foundation actually does, and the different fundraising opportunities that happen yearly with local skating rinks across the country, including his big live music Nashville Show every November.
