Hope to FLATjp:

"Having lived in the U.S. for over 40 years, I am acutely aware of this country's confusing healthcare system. So, I am grateful that this organization was created.

I experienced early detection of cervical cancer in my 30s, and my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer in her 40s. I am honored that I can contribute to FLATjp's activities."
