Scott Hamilton plans to return to skating after more than five years off the ice as part of a benefit for the Cleveland Clinic in November.
The 51-year-old Hamilton, who won the 1984 Olympic gold medal and is a four-time world champion, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1997 and with a noncancerous brain tumor in 2004.
For the last nine years, Hamilton has staged "An Evening with Scott Hamilton and Friends," and on Nov. 7 he will skate in the event at the Quicken Loan Arena. Hamilton's show has raised $10 million for Hamilton's CARES Initiative at the Clinic's Taussig Cancer Institute.
The story was first reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"Cleveland Clinic has been a part of so many major life moments for me," Hamilton said Thursday. "The medical team successfully treated me for testicular cancer and has been guiding me through my journey with a brain tumor."
