What Inspires Me
I joined the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Cancer Society because I am passionate about contributing to research that can alleviate the disproportionate burden that cancer places on many communities. I am proud to say that I work for the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Cancer Society because of the strides being made in cancer research and the focus on improving the lives of patients and families.¡±
