ROB HALFORD, GEEZER BUTLER, DAVE GROHL, Others Pay Tribute To RONNIE JAMES DIO On What Would Have Been His 78th Birthday

The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund, founded in memory of the late rock legend, will commemorate what would have been Dio's 78th birthday on July 10 with a video in which rock music celebrities talk about what Ronnie and his music has meant to them. Dio lost his months-long battle with gastric cancer 10 years ago, and the charity founded after his passing has raised more than $2 million to fight the disease that took his life.

Largely compiled from red carpet interviews with celebrity guests at various Dio Cancer Fund events, including the 10th-anniversary awards gala held at the Avalon in Hollywood in February just before the pandemic shutdown, the video contains special video messages from Rob Halford and Geezer Butler, who were close friends of Dio's. Among those also expressing their thoughts are Dave Grohl, Jack Black, Rudy Sarzo, Craig Goldy, Scott Warren, Simon Wright and Vinny Appice of the DIO band, Fred Coury, Robbie Crane and Ricky Warwick of BLACK STAR RIDERS, Ahmet Zappa, Joey Vera, Glenn Hughes, Jeff Pilson, Doug Aldrich, Terry Ilous and Eddie Trunk, who hosts most of the Dio Cancer Fund events.

In addition to its two annual events plus gala dinners more intimate fund-raising efforts and, of course, direct support from the vast community of Dio fans worldwide, the Dio Cancer Fund was also the beneficiary of proceeds from the 2014 platinum-selling tribute album called "This Is Your Life" containing songs written by Ronnie James Dio that were recorded and donated by major rock and metal recording artists. The "This Is Your Life" album resulted in a 2015 Grammy win for "Best Metal Performance" for TENACIOUS D (actor/musicians Jack Black and Kyle Gass) and their rendition of Ronnie James Dio's "The Last In Line" from the tribute album.

Dr. David Wong, professor and associate dean for research, UCLA School of Dentistry and director for UCLA Center for Oral/Head & Neck Oncology Research (COOR), was among the honorees at this year's 10th-anniversary awards gala. He and his dedicated team of researchers have been developing a simple, non-invasive saliva swab test for the early detection of specific cancers, a concept that is tailor-made for the Dio Cancer Fund's mission. He believes this simple test, called a liquid biopsy, can and should become part of any routine physical examination conducted in a primary care physician's office. During his acceptance speech at the gala, Dr. Wong announced that the financial support from the Dio Cancer Fund had resulted in their research obtaining $8.2 million in additional funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and that he expected a saliva test with "the ability to screen for the earliest sign of gastric cancer" will be available for medical use within the next three years.

In its early stages, the Dio Cancer Fund committed funds over a three-year period to specific gastric cancer research at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston where Ronnie James Dio was treated for the last six months of his life. Additionally, the Dio Cancer Fund donated seed money to the Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, via its relationship with the T.J. Martell Foundation, to support research for a blood test to detect gastric and esophageal cancers that the hospital was able to parlay into a multi-million-dollar grant from the NIH.

Ronnie James Dio, the world-renowned voice behind such iconic heavy metal bands as BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW, HEAVEN & HELL and his own band, DIO, valiantly battled gastric cancer for some six months after a devastating terminal diagnosis. The Dio Cancer Fund, created in his memory, has made it its mission to help eradicate this disease through education and by association with ground-breaking research into early detection. As Dio Cancer Fund's founder/president Wendy Dio regularly says: "Early detection saves lives."
