In 1993, Jim Valvano inspired us all to take action and donate to cancer research, noting that “it may save someone you love.”

To commemorate his message, we asked members of the NHL and NHLPA family who have been impacted by cancer what "love" means to them.

100% of your donation goes directly to cancer research through the V Foundation.
