Mendon, NY ~ Gary Mervis, founder of Cancer Mission 2020 and Camp Good Days and Special Times, presented Representatives Tom Reed and Louise Slaughter with a petition of over 25,000 signatures.

The signatures will be used to bolster bills introduced to Congress, such the sharing of research information that has been publicly funded.

Since the inception of Cancer Mission 2020 in 2010, the focus has been on gaining signatures to make local, state and federal representatives see the need for a concentrated action in prompting research that will make a diagnosis of cancer a manageable rather than fatal disease.
