Today September 24 is World Cancer Research Day 🧫👩🏻‍🔬, and a week ago I participated as a volunteer for the @AmericanCancer Cancer Action Network #CancerLobbyDay.

I advocated for increase in cancer research funds alongside survivors and advocates.

Hundreds of cancer advocates gathered together last week during #CancerLobbyDay to send a powerful message to Congress: #CancerResearch funding is non-negotiable.

Watch this recap video and send a message to Congress urging them to pass a spending bill that increases funding to #ProtectCancerCures.

@slotkin.senate.gov Thank you for continuing to support the MCED Act, please help us get it across the finish line. #CancerLobbyDay

Every Lights of Hope bag represents a person, a friend, a family member, a loved one touched by cancer. Grateful for the power of our advocates to bring these stories into action to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. #LightsofHope #CancerLobbyDay

We're waiting outside Sen Jon Husted's office for more of our Ohio volunteers for our 4:30 #CancerLobbyDay to urge him to #ProtectCancerCures.

We’re on the Hill to #ProtectCancerCures! #CancerLobbyDay

1) Support the highest possible funding for cancer research and prevention
2) Pass the #MCED Screening Coverage Act
3) Extend health care tax credits
