 I'm Buddy Valastro. When I was 17, my dad died of lung cancer and didn't have any life insurance. I had to drop out of high school and work 18-hour days to keep the family bakery going. I know life insurance would have made a huge difference. Today, I own life insurance to protect my family, and you should too. A public service message from the Nonprofit Life Foundation.
