Nacho, a childhood leukemia survivor, adds, "Research saved me, thanks to transplants and new therapies." Their stories underscore the profound impact of research on improving patient outcomes. The video concludes with a call to action, urging increased investment in cancer research to provide more patients with the chance to live longer, healthier lives. This powerful message is a testament to the hope that research brings to those battling cancer and their families.
