WASSERMAN SCHULTZ STATEMENT ON NATIONAL CANCER SURVIVORS DAY

Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today in honor of National Cancer Survivors Day:

“As a breast cancer survivor, there are few days on the calendar that fill me with more hope and resolve than National Cancer Survivors Day. This is a day to share inspiration, love and support with everyone whose lives have been touched by cancer. This is a day to rededicate ourselves to helping our cancer survivors.

“My own diagnosis with breast cancer, and the experiences that followed, changed me – and convinced me that as soon as I was cancer-free I had to double down on my devotion to helping others who face the same challenges I faced as a young woman with breast cancer. It’s why I authored the Breast Health Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young Act (the EARLY Act) to help young women access the tools they need to fight cancer, and it’s why I’m proud to help lead the fight in Congress for all cancer survivors.

“On this National Cancer Survivors Day, I am thinking of and standing in solidarity with, my fellow survivors.”
