Hey friends, it is with great sadness that I share this with you. Dan Haggerty, star of the beloved TV show "Grizzly Adams," has been diagnosed with cancer. Apparently, he was having back issues in July and August. After a visit to the doctor, cancer was found in his spine.
Dan was last heard from on Sept 28th, when he said he was optimistic about his fight and said that he was getting bored with all the medical treatments he was going through. Nothing has been posted since. I'm hoping he is still winning his battle.
As some of you recall, I got to meet Dan at SHOT Show 2014. I have met many celebrities over the years, but Dan was definitely the warmest and most humble, with a great sense of humor to boot. A true gentlemen in every respect.
For anyone wanting to help Dan and his family with his rising medical costs, here is a link to his GiveForward.com page if you'd like to donate.
Leah and I send our thoughts and prayers to Dan and his family, and hope he beats this illness soon.
Regards,
Jason
