On Friday, I was able to leave work a little early and visit a healthcare rally held in Newark. The event was a stop on an 8 day march from Philadelphia to Washington. The march is called
The March for Melanie in honor of an activist from Philadelphia, Melanie Shouse, that recently lost her battle with breast cancer.
Melanie's death certificate certainly said that the cause of death was breast Cancer, but it was just as much caused by a lack of healthcare.
