 Be 1 In A Million -- Uniting the Cancer Community for Change!\n
 The Million Cancer Survivor March is the first ever attempt to
 organize an anti-cancer march and rally in Washington\, DC.\n
 \n
 America&#039\;s cancer population\, a nation of patients\,
 survivors\, caregivers\, friends\, families\, advocates and
 organizations\, all citizens affected by all types of cancer\,
 will gather in Washington D.C. at the National Mall to mark this
 historic event on June 1\, 2014. The MCSM offers an opportunity
 for our country’s cancer community to rally at our Nation’s
 Capitol and show the leaders of our country that we are one group
 united to compel changes to end all cancers.\n
 \n
 Nearly 12 million people nationwide are living with cancer. By
 the year 2020\, the number of cancer survivors in the US is
 expected to double. They have faced a diagnosis and survived the
 treatments\, therefore labeled “survivors.” As for the more
 than half a million that lost their life to cancer last year
 alone\, they left behind countless numbers of grieving loved
 ones. We are the cancer population\, living with the
 after-effects of a cancer diagnosis. We share one belief:
 Something has to change.  \n
 \n
 Cancer accounts for nearly 1 in 4 deaths in the US. If it isn’t
 you\, it’s someone you know. This disease kills well over half
 a million people every year and costs our country millions of
 dollars to treat annually. Yet our government\, the number-one
 funder of cancer research has drastically cut budgets for the
 National Institutes for Health\, the National Cancer Institute
 and the Centers of Disease Control\, thus limiting prevention and
 research for all cancers. The National Institutes of Health
 estimates overall costs of cancer in 2010 at $263.8 billion:
 $102.8 billion for direct medical costs (total of all health
 expenditures)\; $20.9 billion for indirect morbidity costs (cost
 of lost productivity due to illness)\; and $140.1 billion for
 indirect mortality costs (cost of lost productivity due to
 premature death) according to the American Cancer Society. Modern
 science has made advances in survivability\, but it doesn’t end
 with being a survivor. The treatments\, which are sometimes
 ineffective and even deadly\, put survivors at risk of developing
 new forms of cancer\, new diseases\, other health issues and the
 possibility of reoccurrence is still there. Some patients don’t
 have access to the best treatment by means of seeking and having
 access to specialists because of insurance or lack there of (the
 Affordable Care Act doesn’t come into affect until 2014).
 Cancer\, before\, during and after treatment\, can cause
 financial burdens\, forcing people to stop treatment\, lose their
 jobs\, their homes and even declare bankruptcy. At what point
 will we stop putting a bandaid on cancer and find a cure\, find
 better ways to detect it and treat it early and with less harmful
 methods? Our Nation’s leaders want our votes\, and we want them
 to end the War on Cancer!\n
