As an academic nursing leader and tobacco control expert for well over 40 years, there is no stronger voice for health promotion and cancer prevention than to "walk the talk". Through Bill Cousins' leadership as CEO of Less Cancer, those opportunities occur daily whether in the board room or meeting with legislators on Capitol Hill or raising money through cross-country biking, the work is joyful and meaningful and we are making a difference one community at a time!
I've been on the board of Next Generation Choices for over 10 years and am amazed at the impact the org has made in getting the conversation going about the fact that getting cancer is not a given.

I wholly support their mission and the org is extremely efficient with the small funds they receive. I hope more people appreciate how Bill is using social media to inform people of the multiple values of preventing over curing cancer.
