Grafton and Dlynn Roll
At our first Know Cancer Community Awareness Fair, we partnered with the most informative and influential Cancer Organizations to heighten cancer awareness in Orlando…our home! The day was filled with live music, tasty treats, and raffle giveaways, all to raise money for the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute. At the event, a young man named Grafton Roll approached us asking if he could read a speech that he wrote. His speech was originally done as a school assignment to honor Martin Luther King with a work inspired from King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Since his mother has battled cancer twice (Lymphoma), he chose to write his speech on the eradication of the disease.
When Grafton delivered this speech at the event in front of hundreds of people…everyone stopped to listen. Know Cancer thanks Grafton and his family for their commitment and support…and for allowing us to share his speech with our community. Without further a due…
I Have a Dream
I say to you today, my fellow race, that there is a problem. This problem is as old as life itself. This problem causes hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. It crushes families and kills friends.
