The Fight Back Express will stop in Lawrence on Thursday.
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is sponsoring a six-month bus tour to highlight the crucial role elected officials play in supporting laws and policies that help people fight cancer.
Cancer patients, survivors, caregivers and community members are invited to sign the bus and let their voices be heard from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Thursday at Kansas University's Shenk Complex, at the corner of Clinton Parkway and Iowa Street.
A program featuring comments by local cancer survivors will be from 10:20 a.m. to 10:40 a.m., with bus signing before and after the speakers' presentations.
The bus tour kicked off in early May in Ohio and will travel across the 48 continental United States through Election Day.
At each bus stop, visitors have the chance to share their story with their Congressional leaders through the electronic Picture A Cure program and sign a petition to support access to quality health care for all Americans.
For more information, visit the group's Web site.
