Masi Oka is 100% for Livestrong

"Heroes" actor Masi Oka has been personally touched with the big C word. As he candidly revealed at Stand Up for Cancer, Masi’s mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Masi adds,

"She’s in the fight, so selfishly I want to bring more global awareness to cancer and do whatever I can."

It’s heartbreaking to hear that about Masi’s family, but he brings inspiration to everyone by turning this struggle into something beautiful.
