This post is only loosely March of Dimes related, but Ken Burns' new film Cancer: Emperor of All Maladies aired recently. If you didn't catch it on broadcast, I believe it can be viewed in the link below (roughly 6 hours in 3 parts). One of the sections shows how March of Dimes created a method which could be duplicated to raise money to fight cancer and other diseases. Powerful stories, images, and information.
