With almost 30 years in the entertainment business, Paul Anthony is a member of the legendary and Grammy award winning R&B Hip Hop group Full Force. Paul Anthony formed the group along with his brothers Lou George Jr. (Bowlegged Lou) and Brian George (B-Fine) as well as with cousins Gerard Charles (Baby Gerry), Curtis Bedeau (Curt-t-t) and J.R. Clarke (Shy Shy). Paul Anthony is a producer, songwriter, and vocalist who has worked with entertainers such as Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, James Brown, Black Eyed Peas, Bob Dylan, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Selena, Nicki Minaj and Patti Labelle. Paul Anthony has also starred in the urban classic films “House Party”, “House Party 2” and “Krush Groove”. Throughout his career, Paul Anthony has maintained a healthy lifestyle because of his commitment to fitness, body building and keeping a positive attitude.

With all of Paul Anthony’s musical, acting and body building skills, he still wasn’t immune to a molecular invasion that he is currently using to bring awareness to a disease that doesn’t discriminate. Paul Anthony is one of many “Cancer Champions” who has battled Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Paul Anthony explains how he found out that he has the disease:
“I was in the gym training and my training partner saw a small lump in my neck. He thought it was unusual and suggested that I get checked out. I didn’t feel anything, which is pretty normal with this disease. I went to the doctor and had a FNA (fine needle aspiration). During the biopsy procedure they removed fluid and tested it. The biopsy was conclusive and there still is no cure for this disease.”
Shortly after diagnosis, Paul Anthony developed a plan of attack. He canvassed cancer treatment centers and interviewed several world renowned physicians before deciding to begin treatment with Dr. Paul A. Hamlin. Making the right choice was easy for Paul Anthony and the irony of him and his doctor sharing the same name came up it only served as confirmation of his decision.
Six months of intense chemotherapy followed Paul Anthony’s diagnosis. During treatment Paul Anthony maintained his fitness regiment despite the rigorous treatments. Paul Anthony believes that implementing healthy lifestyle choices, spirituality and mental focus and a few of the most important defenses in combating illness and maintaining a healthy life.

Paul Anthony is currently in remission. He feels fortunate that his brother, Lou George Jr., better known by his stage name Bowlegged Lou, is a direct match for him should there be a need for a blood donor. The success rate for such an operation is now 98-99%. True to his public persona, Paul Anthony is living life to the fullest. Throughout the whole process he never stopped to question why he was faced with this challenge.

On a couple of chilly winter days in Southern California, FREEPLAY had the privilege of filming a segment on Oak Creek Corral and their Horse to Heart Program. This very special program, developed by ranch owner Tracy Boldroff, was created to get kids up, moving and enjoying the beauty of the outdoors by pairing them with rescued horses and teaching them horsemanship.
Tracy fell in love with the outdoors when she was a child visiting her Grandfather at Ronald Reagan’s ranch in Malibu, California, where he was foreman. She understood the positive impact of becoming close to nature and wanted to share that gift with children. Tracy has since paired over thirty-five horses and kids over the years and doesn’t have any plans of slowing down. “We’ve seen a lot of results where the relationship with being outside and having the activity with the horses be a positive in all aspects of their life.” say’s Boldroff.
The Horse to Heart kids are a special group. They are accomplished horseback riders that give 100% no matter if it is competing in events like barrel racing or simply caring for their 4-legged best friends. They are fun, fearless and always looking for adventure at the ranch, be it riding or an impromptu high jump contest in the ranch’s arena. One Horse to Heart rider, Abigail Lippert (age 10), says it best…” If your inside you’re never gonna get really fresh air and you’re never really going to experience life.”
Thank you Tracy and the Horse to Heart kids for an amazing two days of fun in the crisp California sun! Catch their story in April onFreePlay TV! Go like the facebook page HERE

University of Nebraska was about to play undefeated Michigan State for a 39-38 upset win. We spent most of the day interviewing Boyd, the NCAA’s first paid strength coach as part of the Freeplay Project. Boyd was hired by Tom Osborne and Bob Devany in 1969 and significantly contributed to all 5 National Championship Teams. I felt like we helped rumble up the ghosts of the past during the day and were lucky to witness a game for the ages. The Huskers paid proper tribute to their storied past with a magical night at Memorial Stadium. An instant classic.
