Fran Drescher's blog

Our very own Fran Drescher, President and Visionary of Cancer Schmancer, spent four very busy days participating in the events of the Democratic National Convention. There, she was able to scope out the convention scene, reach out to hundreds of women, and play a part in political history!

Read on for my exclusive interview with Jordan Brown, Cancer Schmancer’s Director of Policy & Public Affairs, and his experience with Fran Drescher in Denver at the Democratic National Convention.

I'm fresh off of my trip to D.C. in observance of Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. In one week’s time, we accomplished more than you could imagine. The Cancer Schmancer team met with Senators, Congresswomen (and men!) and reminded them how important it is to fully fund "Johanna's Law," also known as the Gynecologic Education and Awareness Act. This funding will allow the CDC to launch a national campaign to educate women about gynecologic cancers. It's about time!

June 20th was the official launch party for the Cancer Schmancer Movement. Our goal was to get celebs on the red carpet to draw more attention to the organization. The press loves that stuff.
