LLS Fact of the Month
Since 1994, LLS advocacy has been a strong voice in Washington, DC, representing the healthcare quality concerns and medical research interests of patients and their families to policymakers at all levels of government. LLS volunteers and staff visit Capitol Hill regularly to lobby Congress in support of issues that impact research and patient care. Working through chapters across the country, local volunteers and staff are building a grassroots advocates’ network to rally patients and their families to promote common goals related to cancer research and treatment. That network now numbers more than 43,000 and has become a potent voice in public policy deliberations.

Quote of the Month
“I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you’re a musician, a writer, and athlete, or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you’ll win – if you don’t, you won’t.”
~Bruce Jenner
