Whereas, Today, 9,600,000 Americans are cancer survivors, thanks to advances in
early cancer detection, treatment and research; and,
Whereas, Over 48,220 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in Michigan
this year; and,
Whereas, The great state of Michigan has an active, productive cancer survivor
population, demonstrating that a cancer diagnosis is no longer an automatic death
sentence; and,
Whereas, William Beaumont Hospital, Troy, celebrates life on Sunday, June 6,
2004, at the 17th Annual Celebration of Life picnic; and now therefore be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim June 7, 2004, as Cancer Survivors Day in Michigan.
