Political Quotes

“I wanted to just briefly reflect on what the advances that we have made in breast cancer have meant to our family. My older sister, Alice, has just been through all of this. She went through the screening. She learned she had a lump. She had the surgery. She had the chemo. She had the radiation, lost all of her hair but never lost her courage, never lost her character, never lost her love of life; and she has come through it remarkably well. So well that she is now pursuing an advanced degree and living as active and rich and full a life as ever she has. Had it not been for the money that we have sunk into research in so many ways, I do not think that my sister, Alice, would be with us at this time; and on behalf of her family and my family and our whole clan, I wanted to express our gratitude to researchers and the doctors and recommit myself to continuing to support whatever is necessary in terms of financial resources to continue that research so that not only may our family enjoy the blessings of a cure for breast cancer but millions of others may as well.”
