My expectations were far exceeded, great job team and a big thank you to everyone who supported us,” White said.

Many cancer survivors, family members, members of the media, and community activists, attended the annual event.

“This is our second year of involvement with the Walk for Hope Los Angeles and I am so very proud of our team. City of Hope is a center for cancer research, clinical investigations, and home to compassionate care for those battling cancer.
