The Lance Armstrong Foundation Goes on Location—To
PCRM
 |
Cancer Project instructor and breast cancer survivor Cara Liberatore |
PCRM’s new affiliate, The Cancer Project, is one of 15 nonprofits
selected by the Lance Armstrong Foundation for inclusion in an
upcoming video, “Stories of Impact.” LAF has helped
sponsor The Cancer Project’s Food for Life vegetarian nutrition
and cooking classes.
Filmmaker Wilson Waggoner and his team spent a day in late August
at The Cancer Project’s D.C. headquarters, interviewing staff,
cooking instructors, and patients about the impact and influence
of the classes. The goal of these classes is to teach people how
healthy food can help them prevent and treat certain cancers.
Cara Liberatore, a mountain climbing guide, athlete, and Cancer
Project instructor from Montana, flew to D.C. to share her story
with the filmmakers. A breast cancer survivor who is teaching the
Food for Life classes throughout the Rocky Mountain corridor, Liberatore
credits a healthy, plant-based diet with helping her pursue her
active life.

Redo, managing director Jennifer Reilly, R.D., and Cancer Project
