Thanks to you and the LIVESTRONG team for making an appearance here today. I’m a second year graduate student here at OSU studying breast cancer genetics, and I just wanted to say that it’s really gratifying to know you guys are out there raising awareness to how bleak the funding and political situation is in our field. My lab, fortunately, is well funded, but some of my friends aren’t so lucky, which forces them to spend time TAing instead of working in the lab. Hopefully, thanks to LIVESTRONG’s work, the new administration will bring with them renewed emphasis on fostering scientific research and bringing about wonderful breakthroughs. Until then, keep up the good work, and if you need help with future Columbus events, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thank you so much for coming to OSU Medical Center and being such an inspiration to so many. As an OSU hospital employee and recent cancer survivor, I felt I was not alone for the first time. I worked in The James Cancer Hospital for 10 years, lost my father at 33 to cancer, and stood teary eyed yet very peaceful knowing your energy and enthusiasm excite so many. May God hold you in the palm of His hand. I look forward to seeing you upon your return to Buckeye country. Respectfully,

Terese
