RIP Patrick Swayze - star of Dirty Dancing, who captured the essence of alpha male sexuality! Sadly brought down by pancreatic cancer - the silent killer. But he battled hard to fight it, writing a piece in the Washington Post titled, "I'm Battling Cancer. How About Some Help, Congress?" in which he urged senators and representatives to vote for the maximum funding for the National Institutes of Health to fight cancer as part of the economic stimulus package. He also appeared in the September 2008 live television event "Stand Up to Cancer," where he pleaded: "I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, a life not lived in the shadow of cancer, but in the light. ... I dream that the word `cure' will no longer be followed by the words `is impossible.'" Patrick you shone so bright and were a demon on the dancefloor!
