Even though the numbers of cancer cases expect to double in next50 years, the cancer death rates are declining thanks tofundraising and research.

Hopefully the Hockey Fights Cancer organization can contributeto the even more to the declining.

Cancer patch to underscore their pledge to fight cancer.
