On November 20, 2012, a group of performers along with cancer survivors and caregiversfrom Smilow Cancer Hospital staged a
flash mob event at Union Station in New Haven. It was a celebration of the progress we’ve made in bringing the world closer to
free. For many participants, it was also a celebration of personal triumph. Seeing so many cancer survivors living their lives fully
and freely reminds us how far we’ve come in advancing cancer treatment. When people come together, cancer can be overcome.
And the world is closer to free.
