At the end of September, my family was affected by the worst disease there is. Cancer. The disease does not care how old you are, how much family you have, or your job. It takes innocent lives that don't deserve to die so young. We, as Americans, need to start fighting harder to find a cure for this disease that keeps taking our loved ones.
I feel like people need to start getting checked more often to catch it early because it spreads very fast. Some people might not be getting them due to insufficient funds and that's not a good reason at all. Donations from a fund could go to this and help people find out a diagnosis early enough for treatment.
I am very grateful that i go to a school that cares so much about this cause. We have pink outs for sports in October for breast cancer awareness, cancer games with special shirts, and just awesome fundraisers that go for the support of finding a cure. It is amazing that even though we are young, we can still help with the cause.
In my opinion, though, we can be doing more to help the cause. Doctors and researchers are progressing and giving us hope which is great, but it always ends in no solid evidence. I feel that more studies need to be done and not just left hanging. A person was cured with AIDS, which is thought to be incurable, so i feel like we will find the cure very soon. The cancer foundation has a lot of money from donations and I am hoping to soon see some results.
