Meeting Katherine Kelly Lang

When I realized who she was, I was excited to meet Ms. Lang because I had heard a lot about her through the Cancer Support Community. We are huge fans of hers, and not because she acts in a daily and iconic TV drama. Because Ms. Lang lost a parent and several grandparents to cancer, she wants to bring awareness to cancer diagnosis. She wants to help those impacted by cancer. She has done this by being a supporter and then ambassador for the Breakaway from Cancer initiative.
