SPRINGFIELD -- Hundreds of people are diagnosed with cancer every day. The American Cancer Society hopes to stop that.

It needs your help to make that happen. The organization is getting ready to launch a major study lasting 20 - 30 years. The research will help cancer prevention.

Everyone in the state is welcome to take part. The more people who sign up, the better.

The ACS will hold informational meetings on the study in Springfield and Champaign next week.
