Political Quotes

“Wes Scott, Josie Wisialowski, Linda Smith, Lyle Beres, Raksha Chand, Erik Oliverson, Pat Kaldor, Charlotte Lass, Val Banks, Tim Cleary, Marcia Boler, Barbara Kluth, these people are men and women, black and white, students and executives, community leaders, young and old. Despite their differences, these people all share one terrible reality, they have all had cancer. They also share one wonderful reality, they have all survived cancer. Our guests today are a few of the survivors featured in the photographic exhibit Beyond Cancer: Journeys of the Human Spirit, on display through October 14th in the Rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building. The exhibit features pictures just like this one here showing the very human face of cancer in America and telling the very personal stories of the people who have fought and overcome this terrible disease. Beyond Cancer is an inspiring tribute to the enduring strength of everyday Americans who decide that they will not allow cancer to define them, they will fight to survive, and that their life is beyond cancer.”
