JAMIE
Jamie Campbell is the current host of Blue Jays Central on Rogers Sportsnet. Jamie got his start in sports broadcasting at CBC Sports in 1997. Jamie was a sports anchor at CBC Edmonton from 1993 to 1997 before moving on to CJOH Ottawa for a year. Jamie became one of Sportsnet's original broadcasters in 1998, co-hosting the very first edition of Sportscentral, now known as Sportsnet Central. Jamie has proudly hosted coverage of the Grey Cup, Super Bowl, NHL Draft, MLB All-Star Game and MLB post-season, as well as the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. In January of 2021 Jamie was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a slowly developing cancer that starts from the white blood cells in the bone marrow. Jamie responded well to treatment and has not missed any Blue Jays broadcasts because of his illness.
BRYN and DAVE
Just a couple of sportscasters from Canada who’ve dealt with cancer, beaten it back and now push forward living the best life possible. They can’t say it’s been easy, because it hasn’t been. But they’ve kept a great attitude and now continue to surge along doing things they love- including talking about sports.
Bryn lost his whole stomach to cancer while Dave dealt with throat cancer. But here they are… both trying to do something positive, to shine a light on the sports people who’ve taken on cancer, getting right back to a regular lifestyle.
We recognize not every cancer story has a happy ending, but there are many people who’ve survived the dark days, amazingly have come out smiling, realizing there’s still lots of life ahead of them! PLUS they’re more than happy to share their story and their sports career with you.
We both want this podcast to be where you see hope, positivity and many more things.
WHY THIS PODCAST?
We recognize not every cancer story has a happy ending, but the goal of the podcast is to highlight the inspiring stories of athletes, sports executives and media personalities who have faced and beaten cancer, or are continuing the fight. We believe that by sharing these stories, we can provide hope and inspiration to those who have been affected by this disease.
