My Interests

Advocacy and action in the fight against cancer!

I'd like to meet:

YOU! --Everyone who is interested in making a diffence in the fight against cancer!

Television:

PROPOSED FEDERAL BUDGET SHORT-CHANGES CANCER RESEARCH NEEDS The proposed 2008 budget sent by President George W. Bush to Congress cuts cancer research funds at the National Cancer Institute and fails to deliver needed increases for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cancer programs.Funding cuts will slow the pace of advancement against this disease and treatments to help the millions of people affected by cancer. In this year alone we will lose more than 500,000 friends, family and co-workers to cancer - the nation's second leading killer.As a nation we have become too complacent about cancer and it is time to rise up and let our elected officials - and the nation at large - know that this is no longer acceptable. Lance is leading an effort to unite all individuals who want to make fighting cancer a national priority. Together we can create significant change and progress in the fight against cancer.

Heroes:

YOU- for CHOOSING to MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Those who are living life to its fullest, and making a diffence in the world.
