President Biden says he has been personally affected by cancer. And he says this $150 million award is meant for *** quote unquote Moonshot initiative. The money will go towards researchers across the country working to help surgeons remove tumors and hopes to cut the number of cancer deaths by half in the next 25 years. It's *** lofty goal but one experts say is attainable with enough investment. Biden whose public schedule has been *** lot quieter since dropping out of the presidential race, spoke in New Orleans and mentioned his son Beau who died of brain cancer back in 2015 saying it's not just personal but also *** priority in his last few months. As president, we know all families touched by cancers are in *** race against time. It's all part of our goal of our cancer Moonshot to end cancer as we know it even cure some cancers. President Biden says the money is also meant to help improve access to cancer screening and care even preventing the causes of cancer. In Washington. I'm Amy Lowe.
