Hop On the ACSCAN Bus!
The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network is sponsoring a Fight Back Express, a shrink-wrapped bus (no kidding!) that is moving across the country until Nov. 4 to raise awareness about cancer, including mesothelioma.
Community residents get a chance at each stop to write their own messages about cancer, using the black marker on the side of the bus. When the walls are filled with signatures the shrink-wrap is saved, mounted and given to members of Congress in Washington at the end of the road on Election Day.
“Cancer is a political issue as well as a medical one,” said Jack Clapper, partner in the mesothelioma law firm of Clapper, Patti, Schweizer & Mason in Sausalito, California. “We support the efforts of the American Cancer Society in bringing this issue forcefully to the nation’s capital, and emphasizing the need for legislation to ban asbestos in the United State,” he said.
