Part 4/8:
An Inspiring Fight Against Cancer
Scott's seven-year battle with cancer was marked by resilience and a refusal to be defined by his illness. His determination to fight without focusing on his prognosis served as an inspiration to many. This fierce fight and expansive legacy have given rise to the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund, aimed at improving outcomes for underserved communities disproportionately affected by cancer. So far, the fund has awarded nearly $16 million in research grants—an extraordinary testament to how he continues to impact lives.
