NEW YORK, July 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2016, then Vice President Joe Biden announced the launch of the National Cancer Moonshot. This initiative has the goal of making a decade's worth of progress in just five years in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer, a disease that takes 1,800 lives per day. Now that five years have elapsed, it's time to assess the progress that's been made.

On July 29 at 4 p.m. EDT/ 1 p.m. PDT, FORCE Family Office  is convening a panel of influential voices to give an update on the Moonshot to our members, including:

• Greg Simon: Executive Director for both the Biden Cancer Initiative, the White House Cancer  Moonshot Task Force, and co-author of the soon-to-be-released book "The Moonshot and Beyond"
• Brian Frenzel: CEO of Tosk, a biopharmaceutical company developing medications to reduce the side effects of cancer
• Dr. Stacy Blain: Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Concarlo, a biopharmaceutical company developing solutions for drug-resistant breast cancer
• Lannia Stenz: Executive Director of Gilda's Club, Madison, a non-profit that provides free emotional support and educational resources to anyone who has been affected by cancer

Managed by the National Cancer Institute, the Moonshot has several ongoing initiatives including:

• Minimizing Cancer Treatment's Debilitating Side Effects
• Developing Ways to Overcome Therapeutic Resistance
• Establishing a Network for Direct Patient Engagement
• Creating Adult and Pediatric Immunotherapy Networks
• And many more
