    <description>Summits Podcast 
What’s your cancer story? 
Hosted by cancer survivor and philanthropist Vince Todd, Jr., Chairman and Co-Founder of the Heroes Foundation, and Heroes Foundation Board Member Daniel Abdallah, the Summits Podcast is a place for people to share their stories.
Everyone has a cancer story. 
From battling a deadly disease to caring for a loved one, when we rise up and face life’s greatest challenges, we see with a new vision, feel with a greater passion, and think with a deeper perspective.
Along the way, paths cross, journeys intersect, and missions converge.  
For Vince Todd, it was his own cancer diagnosis that led him and his wife, Cindy, to launch the Heroes Foundation to provide meaningful support to cancer patients, education to promote cancer prevention, and resources to advance research for a cure.
What started with friends and family grew into a community. The Summits Podcast is an extension of that community. 
Our stories are what bring us together. 
Artists, athletes, doctors, business people - we’re all family members, community leaders, and activists. 
Everyone has a story.  Anyone can inspire. No one battles alone. 
Join the conversation.
Let’s climb the summit together.
