There are 14.4 million cancer survivors in the United States1.  That’s a BIG number!  But, some may ask, “How many people died of cancer?”  Well, as one vehicle donor recently told me, “you can focus on the gloom, or the hope” and we’re focusing on the HOPE.  After all, it’s why we’re in the business
