Dare to Imagine A World Where No One Dies of Cancer

February 10, 2021

February is National Cancer Prevention Month, and the message is more timely than ever as cancer screenings drop because of COVID-19. In this Advocacy Chat, Prevent Cancer Foundation founder and CEO Carolyn “Bo” Aldige discussed the progress the Foundation has made in cancer research and what attendees can do to avoid a cancer diagnosis, especially during a pandemic.

Bo also offered a sneak preview of the Prevent Cancer Foundation’s 50th anniversary theme – Daring to Imagine a World Where No One Dies of Cancer. This is a can’t miss chat!

This is part of our virtual CPAN Advocacy Chats series – short, monthly educational webinars on key cancer issues and the policies that impact them. Each month feature a new topic and special guests joining us. Patients, survivors, caregivers, and other cancer care advocates are all invited to join us for these free, interactive, virtual events!

CPAN Advocacy Chats are regular virtual 30-minute educational conversations about cancer advocacy and policy with a guest speaker invited to discuss issues important to patients and advocates. Summaries of previous Advocacy Chats are available on the CPAN website.
