A whirlwind trip to Washington, DC for the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship! It was my first time taking part in the Cancer Policy Advocacy Team. I can't wait to attend next summer. #CPAT23 Symposium was amazing. I loved seeing my #ElevateAmbassadors again and meeting other cancer advocates! We had engaging discussions, and a few laughs along the way. Most importantly, we were there to advocate for the Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act (CCSA). The Bill (S.2213) was introduced the day after CPAT. Before cancer, I never would have even stepped foot in the House of Representatives or the Senate. We were able to listen to fellow cancer survivors, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Rep. Amy Klobuchar. As a constituent of New York's 25th Congressional District, my gratitude goes to the office of Joe Morelle, It was an honor to advocate for the 18 million cancer survivors in the United States. Enjoy the pictures!
P.S. If you are (or know) of a cancer survivor or cancer thriver who is interested in being a part of cancer advocacy and wants to come along next year, please reach out!
