38: ACS: All Cancer Sucks? Yes, but I I Meant American Cancer Society

My family's doctor has always been amazing, patient and kind as has his staff. Since this year has already been pretty long for my family, I asked him to pick today's charity for Donations by the Dozen, and it is the American Cancer Society (ACS) whose  "mission is to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.The ACS website offers a large expanse of resources and information, so I thought we could focus on the Stories of Hope, including this story and the included video by Sophia Anagnostou diagnosed with Leukemia at the end of her sixth grade year: https://www.cancer.org/latest-news/childhood-leukemia-survivor-finds-beauty-in-life.html. Though renowned for research and information, some of the programs you may not have heard of include TLC Hair Loss and Mastectomy Products,  Breast Cancer Support,  Hope Lodge® Lodging,  Rides to Treatment, and Online Support Communities. I am the kind of person who likes as much information as possible from every angle, but I completely understand wanting only the best information or only getting it from your own resources. Regardless of which kind of person you are, the American Cancer Society has help if you or someone you know needs it. Thank, doc and ACS - here's hoping for good news, progress, and hope.
