Scottie Johnson’s cancersuckschicago.com BBQ team was created following the death of his wife, Corliss, who died in 2003 after a battle with the dreaded disease.
With two young daughters to raise, Mr. Johnson attempted to rebound from his devastating loss by raising funds for the Corliss Johnson Memorial Foundation by competing in barbeque competition at events throughout the country.
At the time of Corliss’s death, daughters Lexi and Zoe were two and five. Mr. Johnson knew he had to do something to help combat cancer’s vicious attacks on innocent people all over the country.
