Throughout life, in some way or another, everyone is touched by cancer. To put it in perspective, 1 in 3 women will get cancer in their lifetime, in addition to 1 in 2 men. Samantha shares the effects cancer has had in her life and why she is passionate about the cause. She states,
“My family has been impacted by cancer and its affects are truly intangible and ultimately create a deep impact that is felt indefinitely. I am proud to partake in the noble mission of the American Cancer Society, which assists individuals during every stage of cancer. As a young professional, I believe it is vital to give back to the community in any way possible and I am eager to join the fight against cancer.”
