Research is Needed for Finding a Cure for Cancer

Cancer does not care if you are rich or poor. Money is not important to cancer cells.

Cancer does not care if you are famous, imfamous, or an everyday person. Look at Ted Kennedy, Farrah Fawcett, Cristine Applegate, and everyone else out there fighting with some form of cancer.

Research is the only way we will ever find a cure for cancer.
