icans. And their families
Weurgeyouturememberalso thatwespend
more each day on military matters than each
year on cancer research. And, last year, mom

cancer mcarch.
We auk a hetler perspective, a hettcr way to
allocate our moncy to mve hundreds of thou-

is heard the most:

mda of lives each year.
