Peter Criss in Cancer Walk

Peter Criss has taken part in the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in New Jersey. KISS Asylum have posted some great pictures (the one to the right is theres) please visit their site for more details. The following article was posted on app.com, big thanks to Marie for pointing it out.

For Peter Criss, former drummer of the rock band "Kiss," who found out he had male breast cancer and was treated in 2008, the annual walk is a living example that when people pull together for a cause they can figuratively move mountains.

"This is like Woodstock, and we're all here to find a cure for one thing, and that's cancer," said Criss, 64, the Brooklyn-born musician who now lives in Wall. "It's so strong when so many people get together for one thing. God bless you all for coming today, and being part of something that is greater than all of us."

Criss said he reacted the same way most men react when told they have breast cancer.

"I didn't think men got breast cancer," Criss said. "When you think of men, you think of them getting heart attacks or prostate cancer, and they don't get breast cancer.

Criss, who was fortunate to have his cancer diagnosed and treated in its early stages last year, joined an American Cancer Society fundraising team called "Bosom Buddies: Twin Peaks" that this year has raised an estimated $20,935 for cancer research.
