James Van Der Beek is taking a unique approach to raise funds for his ongoing battle with colorectal cancer. In an effort to alleviate the financial strain that often accompanies medical treatment, the 48-year-old actor is selling signed football jerseys from his role as Jonathan “Mox” Moxon in the 1999 film Varsity Blues. He has assured his followers that all proceeds will go toward supporting families dealing with the financial burdens of cancer treatment, including his own.
Van Der Beek has been candid about the “financial burden” cancer can impose, and his Instagram post, which includes the hashtag #cancerisexpensive, highlights the significant costs involved. By offering this merchandise, he hopes to raise funds not just for his own medical expenses but also to help others in similar situations. Fans can purchase the jerseys, which will be personally signed by Van Der Beek and delivered by Christmas.
