2008 Marine Corps Marathon —Team AICR
Join Team AICR. Run on behalf of AICR in the 2008 Marine Corps Marathon on October 26, 2008, and help raise money in the fight against cancer.
Scientists have long estimated that a large percentage of our cancer risk is related to our lifestyle choices. AICR’s second international report on cancer prevention, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective, found that 30 to 40 percent of all cancers are directly linked to the foods we eat, the exercise we get, and how well we watch our weight. What this means is that we have the potential through our daily food and lifestyle choices to make a major impact on the cancer risk we each face in our lives.
