When cancer struck him personally in 1995, Mr. T felt a deep responsibility to live by the same words he had shared with others.

“If I couldn’t call on that same God I told the kids to believe in… then that meant I was a liar and I was a phony,” he commented.

Known for his toughness in wrestling, boxing, and football, Mr. T approached cancer the same way: with grit and determination. “So you knock me down, I’m coming up again,” he declared.

Thanks to his unwavering faith and fighting spirit, Mr. T beat cancer.
