Well it's hard to put yourself in his shoes. He might already be well-off, or at least living comfortably. He lost his wife to cancer. It probably means everything in the world to him to be able to strike back at that disease. I lost my brother a couple years ago (different disease) and I can identify with that feeling. Not that I know that I would do the same thing. I probably wouldn't!
It is incredible. A very, very unselfish act!
