Darren Daulton Diagnosed with 2 Brain Tumors

Darren Daulton, the man everyone knows as Dutch, needs a little support.

One of my favorite players growing up, and an occasional co-host on 97.5 the Fanatic in Philadelphia, Daulton, 51, has been diagnosed with two brain tumors. He will have surgery early next week to have them removed.

The official statement from The Fanatic:

Darren Daulton has not been feeling well over the past two weeks. He went to the doctor who discovered two brain tumors and is scheduled for surgery early next week.  Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this difficult time. Of course we want to respect his privacy at a time like this, but if you would like to send him get well wishes you may do so at dutch@975thefanatic.com

I’m lucky enough to call him a co-host and a friend. He’s a guy I looked up to as a kid and continue to enjoy as an adult. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.

Please reach out as he’ll be reading the emails you send to the address above. Right on.
