In a video that he recently released, Toby Keith expresses his inability to accept an award because of his battle with stomach cancer.
This week, Toby Keith informed his followers on social media that he would be unable to travel to The SabesWings’ Second Annual Strike Out Fundraiser to accept his lifetime achievement award because of stomach cancer treatments.

In the video, Keith said he was humbled to receive the accolade and expressed remorse over not being able to accept it in person.
The 61-year-old singer said, “I’m happy to collect the SabesWings lifetime achievement award. I’m sorry; I’ve had a difficult year fighting cancer myself and was unable to make it to the event.
Keith continued by thanking “all the folks at SabesWings” and discussing the award in more detail.
According to him, “Bret and Kandace select individuals for this distinction based on three criteria: service to a group of people in need, making a difference in the lives of others, and the common thread of working cooperatively with other organisations having a goal and passion.”
According to MyRadioLink, Keith was alluding to the fact that this event’s hosts were former MLB all-star Bret Saberhagen and his wife, Kandace.

Keith then went into detail about the assistance that his name-brand organisation is providing to cancer patients and survivors through SabesWings.
“My nonprofit, the Toby Keith Foundation, created the OK Kids Korral in Oklahoma City.” He said, “For children with cancer and their families who stay across the street from the Children’s Hospital, we provide lodging, food, and transportation to and from the hospital.
“We established the foundation to lessen that burden. It truly is a dream come true.
