Editor, News-Register:
Cancer doesn't stop for a pandemic. Every day, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network continues its lifesaving work to fight cancer through public policy.
My cousin is a three-time breast cancer survivor. This experience compelled me to become part of the ACS CAN team, and further their lifesaving mission. Right now, due to COVID related fundraising declines, that mission is being threatened like never before.
The good news is, there are generous organizations out there stepping up to help ACS CAN during this difficult time. I want to thank The Lions Club of Moundsville for sponsoring ACS CAN's "Lights of Hope Across America" event, taking place in communities coast to coast on Sept. 18. This is the first ACS CAN sponsorship in West Virginia!
Thanks in part to The Moundsville Lions Club's generous support, hundreds of luminary bags will be displayed across West Virginia to honor cancer patients and survivors, and ACS CAN is armed with additional resources to advocate for cancer research funding, access to healthcare, and other priorities.
You can help us make a difference. If you or your business would like to help fund the fight against cancer, please contact kscoffield@comcast.net or visit http://fightcancer.org/goto/KarenC to donate.
