结直肠癌斗士迈克尔-罗伯逊和护理人员萨哈-瓦利加入对抗结直肠癌领导层

Alexandria, Va. – June 8, 2015 – The Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC) board of directors is adding two professionals this month who will assist in setting the vision for the nonprofit, fundraising for its programs and using their networks to help the charity accomplish its goals. Stage IV colorectal cancer fighter Michael Robertson and his wife, Sahar Wali, will be joining the board effective this month.

Both Robertson and Wali bring a personal connection with the cause to the board, as well as experience in advocacy and policy. Having both worked in numerous roles on the Hill, in the White House and throughout federal agencies, they will strengthen the insights and knowledge about how to best address legislative goals and see progress made on the Hill.

"罗伯逊说："我曾参与过很多宣传活动，看到过有效和无效的宣传和支持结果的方式。"每一个成功的运动都归结于一个变量--参与的人。搏斗中心充满了病人、护理人员、工作人员和成员，他们都明白他们的心和情感在使他们的工作更加有效和成功方面所发挥的作用。自从我参与他们的工作以来，感觉就像我还没有见过的家人"。

"瓦利说："抗击癌症协会不仅仅是一个宣传团体，他们是一个家庭和一个充满力量的社区，他们知道需要在各条战线上战斗--在国会大厅、在筹款场所和其他地方，以战胜这种疾病。"他们还知道，赢得这场斗争的关键在于患者、幸存者、斗士和受影响者家属的心灵、灵魂和力量。搏击中心知道这场斗争不仅仅是关于金钱和医生的斗争--它是关于人。作为一名护理人员，他们是我在这场斗争中推进的最大力量之一，为了我的丈夫和所有被这种疾病触及并永远改变的人。

罗伯逊和瓦利加入了由其他七人组成的董事会，致力于抗击结直肠癌和推进抗击CRC的使命。其他董事会成员包括

• 南希-罗奇，创始人兼董事会主席
• 大卫-威克斯，副主席
• Dana Rye, 财务主管
