Actor Kevin Bacon scaled new heights to pay tribute to Farrah Fawcett while raising money to fight cancer.
The 50-year-old actor hiked the 14,110-foot Pikes Peak Saturday to play a concert for the Love Hope Strength Foundation.
“It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done physically,” said Bacon after the roughly six-hour climb. “I’m in pretty good shape, but it still really kicked my ass.”
Kevin Bacon, his brother, Michael, and about 95 hikers climbed the peak for the Bacon Brothers’ performance. The “Footloose” actor took a puff of oxygen before the folk duo’s performance.
Cy Curnin of The Fixx hiked with the group and later played “Remember Me When I’m Gone” in honor of Fawcett who lost her battle against anal cancer on Thursday.
The Love Hope Strength Foundation has held fund-raising shows on Machu Picchu in Peru and Mount Everest to raise money for cancer centers.
“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,” Kevin Bacon said. “That was new.”
