| Saturday, March 19th, 2011 Writers Unite to Fight Cancer will hold a Cancer Awareness Fair at Speedway Bookmans in Tucson, Arizona. $1.00 from each book sold at this event will be donated to the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).  Today’s cancer researchers are on the verge of life-saving discoveries. But what scientists desperately need are the funds required to mount an all-out assault against cancer. All the authors who participate with Writers Unite to Fight Cancer are concerned because one in three people will develop cancer during their life. Some of them have had cancer themselves, others have lost loved ones to this disease, and others are acquainted with survivors. This year more than 7.6 million people around the world will die from cancer.
Health Care Providers will be available with information and education. StaceyBouffard is a holistic kinesiologist and certified personal fitness trainer. Others will be there also.
