Catharine Young, Senior Fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, shared on X:
“This year, I have lost two extraordinary women in my life to cancer. Both worked in the cancer field themselves – trying every day to help others – even as they battled the disease themselves.
These are the people I draw inspiration from and, when the world feels harsh (as it’s seems more so everyday), comfort from – those who put far more good into the world than they ever take from it.
My reflection tonight is this: choose the people you surround yourself with carefully. The goodness they radiate becomes part of you. And because of this – what they give to the world remains long after they are gone.”
