And God bless him, Dr. Waxman. from your support of the Foundation, what would you say it was? Mr. Levine: Well, I think the most important thing comes from my understanding of what the Waxman Foundation stands for. Dr. Waxman has had the diligence and the caring to continue this work way, way beyond what most doctors do. He has kept at it with Table of Contents persistence. This is his one goal in life—to find a cure for cancer. Stopping the growth of cancer and finding a treatment.
