Reason for joining the Quest

Christopher Rieley

Shortly after I graduated college, a close classmate of mine was diagnosed with Leukemia. I was not able to spend a large amount of time with him at that moment in our lives, and spent much time thinking about never seeing him again. He is one of the strongest individuals I have ever known, and he survived. I witnessed firsthand the effects have on those diagnosed as well as on their friends and families. I believe there will be a cure for cancer. I want to do everything I can to speed up the timeframe on which that happens, and eliminate the widespread suffering cancer causes. By contributing to the Quest, I can personally influence the speed a cure could come to the world.
