Criss Angel‘s trying to pull off something more impressive than any of his tricks — he’s on a $ 1 million mission, inspired by his toddler’s battle with cancer.
Angel is using his fame to bring national attention to the horrors of fighting pediatric cancer. His 21-month-old son Johnny was diagnosed in October, and will be in treatment for at least the next several years.
Criss is making a documentary called “1095” … the number of days Johnny will undergo chemo. Next year, he’s aiming even bigger — holding a charity event at the Luxor, where he does his Vegas act. He’s footing the bill for the whole thing and wants to raise $ 1 million.
No date yet for the fundraiser, but Criss vows 100% of the proceeds will go to pediatric cancer research.
