Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas

Yippee... read below for the latest update from the LAF on the creation of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas...

TEXAS VICTORY
Dear Andrea:

Today Governor Rick Perry signed House Bill 14 (HB14), which establishes the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. View our press statement about the Governor's signing.

Over the past few months, we united together with a coalition of cancer organizations and as concerned citizens of Texas to send a loud and clear message to our elected officials prompting passage of the Texas Cancer Initiative.

Today’s signing is a celebration of our efforts, but we still have more work to do. Our next goal is to encourage our fellow Texans to make the Lone Star state a worldwide leader in the fight against cancer. On November 6th, voters will have an opportunity to approve $3 billion in funding that would provide $300 million a year for cancer research and programs.

Help keep the momentum going by signing the LIVESTRONG Army pledge today.

LIVESTRONG,
Lance Armstrong
