What if you could take part in research that might ultimately lead to eliminating cancer as a major health problem for this and future generations? What if you could make it so just one family never had to hear the words “you have cancer?”
On Saturday, October 6th, you or your friends and family, will have an unprecedented opportunity to participate in a cancer research study in Erie, PA. The American Cancer Society will be enrolling participants for their newest research study, the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).
The ultimate goal of CPS-3 is to help researchers better understand the lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer and will save lives.
On October 6th, CPS-3 enrollment will be taking place, in conjunction with the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, in Perry Square in Erie from 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. If you are willing to make a long-term commitment to the study (which involves completing surveys at home periodically over the next 20-30 years), are between the ages of 30 and 65 years old, and have never been diagnosed with cancer, then you are eligible to enroll in this important study.
You don't need to participate in the Making Strides walk to enroll in the CPS-3 study and you don’t need to make an appointment to enroll in the study. Just come to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer at Perry Square in Erie and look for the CPS-3 tent. Visit http://www.cancer.org/cps3 to learn more.
Even if you don’t meet the eligibility requirements, please tell everyone you know about this historic opportunity to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays!
Thank you and I hope you see you Saturday!
Sincerely,
Susan Nientimp
