The Earl E. Bird reminds us not to wait until signs of cancer start to appear. Screen for cancer often and early and be proactive about your health. Remember, Early Detection = Better Outcomes.

Advancing #braintumor care and #medicalresearch requires #bipartisan support. Health priorities should never fall by the wayside as a bargaining chip. Thank you Rep. Trahan @trahan.house.gov and Rep. Williams for your support!
Heartfelt thanks to Rep. Lori Trahan @trahan.house.gov and Rep. Roger Williams for your powerful speeches this morning to Head to the Hill advocates from across the U.S. — and for everything you do to champion and support the #braintumor community.
