Know Cancer Bracelets are Now Available!

Know Cancer Community

One day a couple weeks ago, a few members of the Know Cancer Team decided to play hooky from work and make some trendy Know Cancer bracelets. We put up some pictures on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace & Flickr and got such an overwhelmingly positive response that we decided to make them available to all of you.

We recognize that cancer is overwhelming for most people. It can be a confusing time with so much to learn and lots of decisions to make, and no one should have to feel confused or alone. For this reason, we have created the KC community. It is a place for hope, inspiration, conversation, learning, and tons of greatness all rolled into one.

Grafton Roll, an Old Dream from a Young Inspiration

Events

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
