I have always felt compelled to learn more about cancer, cancer research, and ways to improve people and families' lives that struggle or have struggled with cancer. I know many people that have been diagnosed with cancer. Whether it was gone relatively quickly, near death, or sadly even passed away from it, it is all very scary for both the person and their families. I have found one of the largest “cancer-fighting” organizations in the world, The American Cancer Society that has a real goal and vision to put an end to cancer. The foundation does plenty of research, but that's really just part of it. They provide information and support to all communities that have been affected by cancer…24/7. Most people have been affected by cancer in some sort of way, with 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women being diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Although it is a very tough battle, we can never give up, in hopes of ever finding an end to this tragedy.
