Political Quotes

“the League Against Cancer or La Liga Contra el Cancer, as it is more commonly known in my congressional district, recently raised over $3 million for cancer patients during its 25th annual telethon. Florida ranks second in the incidence of cancer, as one in every two men and one of every two women are diagnosed over a life-span. La Liga never turns away cancer patients, and I wish to commend its president, Dr. George Suarez and its VP, Brenda Moreira, and the hundreds of volunteers and sponsors who give hope to thousands of Florida's victims of cancer. Low-income and uninsured cancer patients come to the League for life-saving treatment. Over 300 Miami-Dade board-certified doctors and hundreds of community members volunteer their time and skills and work tirelessly to help cancer victims. Last year, with the budget deficit, La Liga provided life-saving services to almost 4,000 patients, all of whom were legal residents of Florida. We thank La Liga Contra el Cancer for its proud record of service to our community.”
