Darius Rucker Celebrates Less Cancer, More Birthdays

Darius Rucker has teamed up with the American Cancer Society's More Birthdays campaign, an initiative to promote cancer awareness, healthy living and most importantly, cancer survival.


"I wanted to get involved because cancer affects everybody. Cancer is such a devastating thing," Darius told The Boot. "The American Cancer Society is working hard to make it so there's less cancer and more birthdays." Lady Antebellum and Keith Urban – have also participated in the campaign.


Cancer hits particularly close to home in the Rucker household. Darius' father-in-law and niece are both battling the disease. "It's been pretty tough," says the singer, who lives in Charleston, S.C. with his three children and wife of ten years, Beth.
