Kevin Bacon goes to new heights for cancer charity

Folk-rock duo the Bacon Brothers — actor Kevin and his brother, Michael — hiked 14,110-foot Pikes Peak on Saturday to play a concert to raise money for a cancer charity, the Associated Press reported.
The Bacons made the roughly six-hour climb with about 95 other hikers at an event to raise money for the Love Hope Strength Foundation.
At the mountaintop, Kevin Bacon took a puff of oxygen before performing three songs with his brother.
“It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done physically,” the actor-musician said after the hike. “When I’m in Los Angeles I go for a few hikes a week, but I don’t go out for six hours at 14,000 feet. That was new.”
Cy Curnin of rock group The Fixx also took the trip. He performed his song “Remember Me When I’m Gone” as a tribute to Farrah Fawcett, who died from complications from anal cancer Thursday.
After the Pikes Peak concert, the Bacons rushed from Colorado Springs to Denver for a nighttime concert to raise money for the foundation.
The Love Hope Strength Foundation has held fund-raising concerts at Machu Picchu in Peru and Mount Everest. The Bacon Brothers got involved through a friend.
