Governor Frank Keating Shares Cancer Journey

Former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating and his wife, First Lady Cathy Keating, are lending their voice to another critical need, and that is support for Oklahoma’s American Cancer Society. While much of the headlines this year have focused on COVID-19, every day 23 Oklahomans die from cancer. “I have a high level of admiration for the American Cancer Society,” Keating said. “I think the non-profit community and organizations like ACS are some of the most essential services in the nation. They provide services the government could not provide, and it’s vital to support them during these times.” Keating is a cancer survivor himself and knows first-hand how devastating a cancer diagnosis can be.

Cancer Should Not Have the Last Word

The role of caregiver is one Keith Howard knows well. He is president and CEO of Circle of Care, an organization providing help, healing and hope to children and families in crisis. He has also seen up-close the devastating effects caused by cancer. A few years ago, Howard’s sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, and that same year his father received a prostate cancer diagnosis. A year later, his mother learned she had breast cancer.

Once again the American Cancer Society of Oklahoma will be “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” with the annual Strides Walk being held the weekend of Oct. 17-18.

We are struggling like so many other organizations and individuals, while still trying to maintain our core services to our friends and neighbors who are fighting cancer. So, our Strides Walk will go on, just in a virtual setting.”......[more]

Childhood Cancer Survivor Finds New Passion Volunteering with ACS

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming at any age, especially for a child or a young adult. Talia Lane was just 19 and in her freshman year at the University of Oklahoma when she noticed something suspicious. “While sitting in class one day in March of 2003, I noticed a swollen lymph node in my collar bone,” she said. “I also had symptoms of a low-grade fever and persistent itching all over my body. Little did I know those were also symptoms of my cancer.” The cancer was Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a relatively rare cancer of the lymphatic system....[more]
