What Inspires Me
I will always remember a phone conversation I had many years ago with a gentleman whose parents were both CPS-II participants. His mother had passed away from cancer. Whenever I think about the story of his parents and the love they shared, I’m reminded that our work is not about statistics or data – it is about people, and the lives they have that we are trying to save.”
