I was browsing my Facebook feed this morning and I saw a post by Colleen from the Biggest Loser 5 that was announcing the death of Daniel Wright, an alumni from Seasons 7 and 8 of The Biggest Loser. Daniel has been struggling with cancer for a long time and this news really sucks, as it means the bitch that is cancer has claimed yet another soul. Cancer sucks and it sucks even more that it keeps claiming people's lives despite all the millions of dollars that are supposedly going into research for a cure.
I have personally lost so many relatives, including my biological dad and paternal grandparents, to cancer and it just makes me sad every time I hear of someone else losing their battle to it. Cancer is a bitch and it needs to be smacked down!
Look at all of the reality shows that have lost 'family' because life and illness wants to be mean and create chaos. Daniel is now a part of the list and it HURTS:

Cancer doesn't discriminate, whether you've appeared on a reality TV show or not. It's evil.
