A couple of weekends ago, Luciana attended a fitness retreat for Team Survivor Northwest. TSNW is an organization that provides fitness and health programs, to enable women who have survived cancer to take an active role in their ongoing healing. During this retreat, she met Dr Kiran Dhillon, the Executive Director of the Cancer Vaccine Institute of UW Medicine. Guess what, it’s happening… cancer vaccines! Not just to prevent, but also to cure cancer!  That's why we decided to invite Dr Kiran Dhillon to The Sound of The Puget Sound!

In many ways military families are just like any other families. They worry about money, benefits, retirement; sometimes both parents have to work to survive; they worry about their children’s health and education, they go through marital problems, and they want to buy a nice house where to settle down. Now, in many aspects, their lives are so different… Just think of their jobs… deployment, war, relocation, isolation, separation, physical disabilities, PTSD… too many issues. Our military work extremely hard for our communities and it is not fair that so many times they have to struggle to survive… Operation Homefront works on building strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive in the communities they have worked so diligently to protect. Today we’re joined by Kelli Fagan, Senior Director, Region 1 of Operation Homefront here in Washington.
