On Saturday, the world lost a great leader in the cancer crusade, Evelyn Lauder. A tireless champion in finding a cure for breast cancer, she never let her own cancer divert her from that mission. Working during and after her treatment, Mrs. Lauder was an inspiration to all of us at Cancer and Careers. We will miss her grace, passion and courage.
