PERSONAL STATEMENT
Cancer affects everybody. While it might not have directly affected me it has played a role in my life whether it was seeing my relative getting diagnosed with it or seeing a friend devastated on losing his mother to this unforgiving disease. Regardless of the outcome, a cancer diagnosis is a nightmare that affects everyone directly and indirectly. I hope to help raise money for cancer research and play my part in spreading cancer awareness by interacting with and giving a voice to the affected I meet on this trip!
