Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox was 3 years old when his mother, Lorraine, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
As he got older, he learned more about the fear she faced and the battle she waged to beat the disease that claimed her sister’s life about a year before Fox was born.
“I didn’t see her fight because I was so young, but she’s always been around support groups and people I grew up with who had breast cancer, so I’ve seen that,” Fox said.
Fox has joined his mother’s fight through the Fox Whole Family Foundation, which serves women whose lives have been affected by breast cancer.
