Relative to Fight Against Cancer Day.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution designates May 22, 2013, as Fight Against Cancer Day to honor the American Cancer Society's (ACS) 100 years of significant contributions to combating cancer. The resolution highlights the ACS's history, including its early fundraising and public education efforts, its substantial funding of cancer research that has supported numerous Nobel Laureates, its role in establishing the connection between smoking and lung cancer, and its influence in the passage of the Cancer Act of 1971 which created the National Cancer Institute. It also acknowledges the success of Relay For Life, a major grassroots fundraising event organized by the ACS, and the organization's work in providing cancer information, linking obesity to cancer, and advocating for tobacco regulation. The resolution concludes by urging all citizens to unite in the ongoing fight against cancer.
