Great Cancer Advocacy Organizations Have Great Information
There are many excellent nonprofit organizations that specialize in cancer advocacy and have up-to-the-minute information on critical legislation. More importantly, these organizations will help link you with other like-minded advocates. One thing always to keep in mind: An advocate for one kind of cancer should never talk ill about advocates for other types of cancer. We are all involved in one crucial, life-giving fight and we must do so together with one voice.
