Temple's football family, including head coach Matt Rhule and his wife, Julie, participated in the Race for the Cure. The Rhules have been dealing with breast cancer for a long time. Thanks to early detection, Matt's mother has been a breast-cancer survivor for nine years. However, Julie Rhule's mother died in September after a six-year battle. That same month, Temple senior offensive lineman Evan Regas lost his mother to the disease. And Temple football spokeswoman Cathy Bongiovi’s mother is a survivor. "It's not about me. It's not about my wife. It's just about us all having something in common with each other in this dreadful, dreadful disease," said Rhule.
