How 'Cycle for Survival' Fosters Community for Cancer Patients and Survivors
Kiersten Paladino, cancer survivor, joined Cheddar News to discuss 'Cycle for Survival,' a program aimed at funding research dedicated to eradicating rare cancers. She said she's been part of the group for a decade after being diagnosed with cancer at 22 years old. "Finding a community like Cycle for Survival is invaluable," she said. "I felt like I wasn't alone. There were other young cancer patients and survivors at the events, and you just feel like you're doing something proactive and working towards a common goal."
U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday proposed raising the legal age that people in England can buy cigarettes by one year, every year until it is eventually illegal for the whole population and smoking will hopefully be phased out among young people.
