While you are there, learn about becoming a part of medical history by enrolling in the free Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). The purpose of the grassroots study is to better understand the lifestyle, behavioral, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer and to ultimately eliminate cancer as a major health problem for this and future generations. The ultimate goal is to enroll at least 300,000 adults from various racial/ethnic backgrounds from across the United States. If you cannot make it to the Relay, please go to www.seeuthere.com/cps3enroll/dademonroefl to enroll and find out more.
