Dear Friend, We are just 86 days away from this year’s Huntsman Cancer Foundation SportsFest! Can you believe it? Whether you’re joining your company, participating as a family, or you’re just excited to come together and make an impact, your participation is vital in turning hope into action. Dr. Bradley Cairns, PhD, and Michael D. Delzotti, FAHP, CFRE, discuss a simple but urgent message from Jon M. Huntsman Sr.: cancer moves fast—so we have to move faster. They explain how breakthroughs happen because of the partnership between researchers and supporters like you. Your fundraising helps speed up discoveries and brings hope to patients waiting for the next treatment.
