Army soldier Fred Simons is "Kilted to Kick Cancer," trading in his camouflage for something a bit airier.
After spending eight months risking his life in Afghanistan, Simons is still working to save the lives of others. All month long he will be rocking his kilt to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer prevention. A campaign that started in the blogosphere.
