Teen Cancer America at the State of the Union Address

Teen Cancer America, Chairman Rebecca Rothstein, Executive Director Simon Davies and his wife Geraldine Lee were honored to be guests of John Boehner, Speaker of the House at the State of the Union in Capitol Hill, Washington DC on January 28th, 2014.

Speaker Boehner has had a personal contact in Ohio with a teen who battled with cancer, called Jessica. He said, “It’s hard not to be inspired by Teen Cancer America, which reflects Roger Daltrey’s passion and commitment to ensuring that teenagers with cancer get specialized facilities and treatment. Having witnessed families in my own community grapple heroically with the challenges of teen cancer, I wanted to help highlight their mission and cause at this year’s State of the Union Address”.
