How You Can Make a Difference in Cancer Research I used to think that cancer was something that was far off in the distance, something that I would never had to face. However, from a young age, and even before I was born, cancer has surrounded my family the same way that it has so many other countless numbers of people.

It wasn't until several years into our friendship that I found out that she had suffered from Leukemia, a type of cancer that affects children, just two years prior to my enrollment at our...more
