In a time when political division and a gridlock in Congress dominates the headlines, there’s one issue that should unite us all – the fight against cancer.

When I was fortunate enough to receive clear results, I realized the risk I had taken by waiting so long to get screened. Now, I’m committed to educating others in our community about the importance of routine screenings and how early detection can make all the difference in the fight against cancer.
