Katherine Kennedy, Prevent Cancer Foundation Young Professionals Chair
On Monday January 30, over 100 young professionals in the DC area came together at the brand new Irish Whiskey Public House in DC to proactively join the Prevent Cancer community. After Chair Katherine Kennedy (@KatherineKenned) shared that she became involved with the Foundation because she has a disease, MEN-1, that is not preventable and didn’t want any of her friends to face endless hours of uncertainty in a doctor’s office, she then asked the young leaders to tweet why they are joining the group to “Stop Cancer Before It Starts!” and here are some of their live tweets:
