World Cancer Day '26

Image of hands of different colors with middle fingers raised with the text, “World Cancer Day, Today give the middle finger to the horrific disease and DEMAND better screening, care, and research funding! Then do it again tomorrow. And keep doing it all year long!”
Last week I lost another friend to cancer. EVERYBODY I know has been touch by cancer in one way or another, yet there are subhumans out there cutting access to care and research funding. Demand better screening, care, and research! Not just today, but every day!

Open Letter to Politicians on World Cancer Day

Dear Politician,  Please stop sending me messages requesting money for your campaign. I’m a retired illustrator turned hereditary cancer advocate because of a tragedy in my life. I donate my time, talent, and money to help prevent cancer and save lives. I cannot afford to fund your efforts to win what is basically a popularity contest so you can sit on your pompous ass and do nothing to help some of the most vulnerable among us. Thank you for your attention on this matter!  Sincerely, Mark A. Hicks
 

And this🖕is for the small-minded politician that wouldn’t advance out of committee a hereditary cancer screening bill I fought to get passed for three years.
