National Cancer MoonShot 2020
New Hope for Rare Cancers
Before July of 1969, our nation thought that landing on the moon would be an impossible feat, only imaginable in our wildest dreams. When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon, the word “impossible” was shattered when Armstrong said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
In January 2016, our nation took one small step in the right direction towards a cure for cancer. When President Obama gave his final State of the Union, he announced that Vice President Joe Biden would be heading a vital initiative called the National Cancer MoonShot 2020. Having lost his son, Beau, to brain cancer last May, Biden took the reins on this initiative with a very personal touch.
