Bio: Every year, more than 1.6 million people are diagnosed with cancer, in the United States alone. Last spring, my dad became part of this statistic as he was diagnosed with advanced squamous cell carcinoma. Thankfully, my dad was able to be treated over an intensive 6 week radiation program. My dad has been very lucky in that he has been able to make a full recovery and his scans have remained clear since August. Unfortunately, not all cancer patients are as lucky as my dad. For my senior year, in addition to everyone else who's life is effected by cancer, I am dancing for my dad!
