I couldn't be more excited to share with you ACS CAN's second-ever national TV ad. A few weeks ago I showed you the making of the ad, which was produced with the help of cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. Each of the 1,584 sticky notes features real tributes and memorials from people across the country to their loved ones who have battled cancer. The ad calls on Congress to make cancer a national priority and is timed to coincide with the congressional super committee's process for producing a deficit reduction plan. You're getting a sneak peek the ad will officially premiere during Meet the Press in the Washington, D.C. market this Sunday, Nov. 6. The ad will also run nationally on CNN, FOX and MSNBC and on several major news sites. Take a look, let us know what you think and join the thousands of advocates who are calling on Congress to make cancer a national priority by protecting federal funding for cancer research, prevention and early detection and improved access to health care.
Mariah Forster Olson, an ACS CAN Ambassador Constituent Team Lead (ACT Lead), traveled to Washington, D.C. this week to share her story as a childhood cancer survivor and to advocate on behalf of other patients and survivors during the 2019 Childhood Cancer Action Days.
