Episode 004: End of Year Thoughts, A Reflection of Hope

As the year winds down, I often sit back and reflect of some of the moments of the past year from a personal perspective and from the perspective of the work we have been doing at the Cancer Research Foundation.

This year, and the past couple of years were filled with many emotions from a personal level, where several of my own family members and friends were affected by cancer. Though some have thankfully survived, a few have not – and it leaves an everlasting wonder of what can we do to avoid this in the future. In a sense, I want to dedicated this end of year note as a tribute, to my family and friends that are no longer here, but also as a sign of hope for those who are still here and affected by their loss. And to all those that I don’t know personally, I’ve seen many stories posted over the past year of cancer affecting your lives and I want to also dedicated this to whatever situations you are going through.
