Daly started growing a beard when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer and has said that he isn’t going to shave it until he wins his battle against cancer. “Well, I started growing it when I found out I had cancer,” said Daly. “And I figured most people shave things. I just wanted to grow this until I beat it.”
