We’ve all said it: “F*ck cancer.” But saying it isn’t the same as doing something about it. On this episode of Above the Legal Limit, host Justin Chopin sits down with Phil Lorio, law partner and Cure Gala chairman, and Ryan Williams of the American Cancer Society in New Orleans for a candid conversation about what it really means to fight back against cancer. The conversation goes beyond the hashtags and social media posts to highlight the people, programs, and personal experiences behind the fight. In this episode: · Why “f*ck cancer” is the starting point—not the finish · The Patrick F. Taylor Hope Lodge, which provides free lodging for cancer patients and their caregivers · The American Cancer Society’s volunteer driver program helping patients get to treatment · Phil Lorio shares a deeply personal story about his late mother and a dream that changed his perspective · Justin Chopin reflects on losing his aunt at MD Anderson and why this cause is personal · A behind-the-scenes look at the Cure Gala, including an unforgettable bidding war Whether you’ve lost someone to cancer, are fighting it yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply want to help, there’s a way to make a difference.
