The Who’s Roger Daltrey has teamed up with First Citizen Bank to once again throw his weight behind the fight against teen cancer. The rock legend broke the news of the new partnership in an official statement and says he’s thrilled to continue his efforts. “On behalf of Pete Townshend and Teen Cancer America, I’d like to thank First Citizens for the support the bank is giving us to achieve our goal – supplying hospital spaces for adolescents and young adults with cancer,” Daltrey, 71, said. “In the [United] States, 30 young people a day are diagnosed with cancer, and they’re either put in a hospital with children or with older people. But we’re fixing that. With First Citizens’ assistance, we can bridge the gap and create places for treatment where they can be young people first – and cancer patients second.” Jeff Ward, chief strategy officer at First Citizens adds: “I think the real outcome is what happens in the communities when we start working with hospitals to help bring cancer units into their space.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com.
