We may not be at the capitol in Lansing this year, but we will still make an impact and tell our lawmakers to make fighting cancer a top priority! #MICancerActionMonth • The current pandemic puts increased stress on so many cancer patients. That’s why I am advocating with @ACSCANMichigan during the month of June for Michigan’s Virtual Cancer Action Month. I will be advocating for cancer fighting policies to support cancer patients, survivors and caregivers. Cancer hasn’t stopped so neither have we. #MICancerActionMonth General Posts to Kick Off the Month (June 1st – 5th) • This week I begin Michigan’s Cancer Action month! As a volunteer with @ACSCANMichigan I will be joining advocates across the state to advocate for cancer fighting policies, to share our personal stories and to virtually meet with our lawmakers. I may not be able to meet with (tag state representative & state senator) today in Lansing, but I will still be encouraging them to make fighting cancer a top priority! #MICancerActionMonth #MILeg • As a volunteer with @ACSCANMichgian I am calling on (tag state representative & state senator) to support Oral Chemotherapy Fairness legislation (H.B. 4099) and Tobacco Reform legislation to bring Michiganders better access to care and protection for kids from Big Tobacco. #MICancerActionMonth #MIAccesstoCare #ItsTimeToChoose #MILeg • Join me throughout the month of June by following along with @ACSCANMichigan and take action! Will you help me call on Michigan lawmakers to make cancer fighting policies a top priority. Cancer hasn’t stopped so neither have we. #MICancerActionMonth
