Catherine Cazzari

This August marks ten years since my thyroid cancer diagnosis. Looking back, I cannot believe all that has happened since that day. Although there were a lot of difficult times, there were even more wonderful moments. I owe everything to my family, friends, and loved ones – those who support me. Without them, I would not have made it through the tough days so that I could celebrate the great ones.

Running has been something that has helped me cope, both with cancer and the stresses of everyday life! Running is a way that I am able to center myself and focus on the things that truly matter. I have never run a 10K race before, but I am looking forward to reaching this goal in the “Running with Hank for THANC” race!

You can make a lasting impact on cancer research—and ultimately improve patient care. Each day 328 people are diagnosed with head & neck cancer and 144 people are diagnosed with thyroid cancer. As a result, the number of lives that we touch daily continues to grow while we strive to meet our threefold mission to advance research, educate physicians and provide information for patients and family members. However, our work is far from over and we need your generosity to better serve our dynamic community. Thank you for your support.
