Jaymes Vaughan Wants to Win Amazing Race to Help Cure His Father's Cancer


Everyone knows the Amazing Race has an amazing prize for the pair who makes it around the globe – a cool $1 million.

But viewers may not know what fan favorite Jaymes Vaughan (who partnered with his best friend and fellow Chippendales dancer James Davis on the show) plans to do with the money if he wins.

Shortly before his Amazing Race adventure began, "I found out my father was diagnosed with one of the rarest cancers that there is," Vaughan, 31, tells PEOPLE. "At this point it's an incurable cancer, and we're trying to do everything we can to help him turn it into a curable cancer."

"The best way to do that is to give him financial support," he continues, "to be able to say, 'Hey, here's a house that's paid for, here's your bills paid for, here's all your medical expenses paid for. You just get better.' There's no better way to do that than with a million dollars."
