Do you know someone affected by cancer? Or do you know someone who knows someone? Probably. Cancer is one of those things that's just there. Even if you're lucky enough not to have been touched by it, just the thought of it...the possibility...always hangs above us like a dark cloud. It can make you feel pretty helpless.
But imagine a world without cancer. That's what the Roswell Park Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York, would like us to do; it's one of the oldest and largest cancer centers in the U.S. and where many young people find the treatment and support they need to cope and hopefully, survive. Roswell Park has created a new campaign called YRoswell to encourage kids, tweens, and teens to not just envision a cure, but start working towards one through any way they can, like volunteering, fundraising, planning for a career in medicine or science, or even just being there for someone who's dealing with cancer in some way. The YRoswell campaign has been joined by Kris Allen, Sean Kingston, Jason Derulo, and members of Hey Monday and Cobra Starship -- all celebs who care passionately about this cause and want to lend a hand.
The YRoswell folks made this fun, inspiring video called "How Big Is Your Heart." It features real cancer patients and nurses performing alongside professional dancers. Check it out -- it's catchy!
