The TKO Touched by Cancer video is simple, yet moving. It’s a compilation of TKO Graphix team members honoring cancer survivors and remembering loved ones they have lost.

It would be hard to find anyone who hasn’t been touched by cancer. Most of us have experienced the horror of learning someone we care about has been stricken by the disease. Many are privileged to watch their family and friends survive, just as many aren’t as lucky.

Touched by Cancer

The statistics show that most people will be touched by cancer in their lifetime.
