DETROIT — Mitchell Tenpenny didn't hesitate when the Lions talked with him about performing at the team's Crucial Catch game. The country singer has been hit by cancer like so many of us, and works to help cancer patients and families going through similar battles.

Tenpenny created the 10Penny Fund to help provide mental support to cancer patients. He lost his father to cancer in 2014, and his mom is in remission from breast cancer.
