This bus stop's goal: Making cancer an election priority

Have you ever signed your name on a bus?

Gov. John Lynch of New Hampshire hadn't, but on Monday he penned his name to the American Cancer Society CAN Bus.

The bus, which is traveling across the country to share stories of cancer patients and survivors, is working to make cancer a priority issue during this year’s presidential election.

Today, the bus is stopping in Providence and Pawtucket where people are asked to sign their names to the bus, and sign a petition urging presidential candidates to promise a health plan that gives all Americans “access to affordable, available, and adequate health care that eliminates red tape.”

Visit the bus today in front of the State House, at 2:45 p.m. or at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket at 6 p.m.
