Maryland Ambassador feauured in new ACS CAN ad

May 21, 2014

A huge thank you to Jacqueline Beale for being in a new ACS CAN ad to share her story.  Jacqueline, is a two-time cancer survivor and one of our very own Ambassador Leads in Maryland. The ad emphasizes that we can’t afford to let promising cancer research at the National Cancer Institute go to waste due to a lack of funding, while 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their life time, and cancer costing our economy more than $216 billion.

The ad ran on May 6 in the National Journal Daily and May 7 in the Politico and Roll Call which was the same day the Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing was taking place, the first in more than five years during which Congress has focused specific attention on cancer. Planning continues for running the ads again throughout the year.
