March 5, 2015

University Relations

KUAC and Fairbanks Memorial Hospital invite the public to explore cancer through discussions, screenings, radio stories and sharing by individuals on March 24 at 5:30 p.m. in the hospital's McGown Room.

The event precedes the premiere of "Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies," a series broadcasting March 30-April 1 on KUAC TV. Visit kuac.org/cancerfilm to learn more about Ken Burns' series, which “matches the epic scale of the disease, reshaping the way the public sees cancer and stripping away some of the fear and misunderstanding that has long surrounded it,” according to the producers' summary.

Share your story or the story of a loved one on the project’s story wall at cancerfilms.org/story-wall/.

 

If you would like to have KUAC FM or TV share your story over the air, or if your organization would like to be involved in this effort, please email Emily Berriochoa at emilyb.kuac@alaska.edu.
