The 29-year old singer is interested in learning more about the connection between the environment and cancer, and he had the opportunity to talk to doctors at the FHCRC about that topic. "I feel like there's a connection," Richardson told local ABC television station KOMO. "We're still learning about that yet. But I feel in my heart there is a connection. I mean we know that the more toxins you breath, drink, and eat, the higher the risk of cancer, the more carcinogens you put in your body, the higher the risk." Richardson recently created an organization called Just Within Reach: An Earth Foundation to focus on improving the environment. He was in Seattle to perform with the Backstreet Boys on Sunday and Monday (February 25 and 26) at the Tacoma Dome in support of the group's latest album Black & Blue. The FHCRC is one of 35 comprehensive cancer research centers, as designated by the National Cancer Institute. The FHCRC's mission is to use basic and applied research to eliminate cancer as a cause of human suffering and death. In other news, the Backstreet Boys recently announced an upcoming appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on March 16, during which they will perform their hit single "The Call." -- Jason Gelman, New York Comment on this item.
