“I joined the ACS CAN Project VIVE because I am passionate about providing health information about smoking in my community. This is in hopes that my community becomes smoke-free as quickly as possible and so future generations grow up in a smoke-free area, knowing the negative repercussions of their actions if they decide to smoke.”

“My experience with ACS CAN was a blessing in disguise. As I’m not a perfect nor claim to be in my walk in life this experience has been one where I’ve gotten to connect with individuals who were strangers and are now life time friends. I’ve felt supported during a time where things did not seem too bright but I am grateful to have been able to be a voice not only for my grandmother but also for all the other caregivers/warriors/angels.”
