What if you could make it so just one family never had to hear the words “you have cancer?”

What if you could personally participate in research that could help determine factors that cause or prevent cancer?

What if that research ultimately leads to the elimination of cancer as a major health problem for future generations?

This year, you can be a part of a historic research effort by enrolling and encouraging others to enroll in the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). CPS-3 will help us better understand the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become personally involved in research.

Enrollment for CPS-3 will take place at Relay For Life Westlake, Westlake High School Chap stadium, Saturday, May 1, 2010 6:30pm – 10:30pm

Who can join the study?

Anyone who will commit to the study long term, is between the ages of 30–65 and who has never been diagnosed with cancer. You do not have to be a registered Relay participant to enroll.

How can you volunteer?

By enrolling in CPS-3! You can enroll at the Westlake Relay For Life, Saturday, May 1^st 6:30pm – 10:30pm at Westlake High School Chap stadium. Enrollment is a simple, two-phase process:

At Relay, you will be asked to complete a brief survey, provide a waist measurement, and give a small amount of blood (similar to a doctor’s visit), collected by a certified, trained phlebotomist.

At home, you will also be asked to complete a more-detailed survey that asks questions related to medical history, lifestyle and behaviors. Periodically, you will receive a survey at home to update that information.

What else can you do? Tell everyone you know about this historic opportunity to make a difference in the fight against cancer!

For more information, visit www.cancer.org/cps3 or call 888-604-5888

For more info call Joan Grable 512-585-6897 or  HYPERLINK “mailto:jgrable@ft.newyorklife.com” jgrable@ft.newyorklife.com to sign up.  I need name, age, phone and email. This is a long term commitment so be sure you want to do it!
