President Biden will visit Boston Monday to deliver a speech on his Cancer Moonshot Initiative, which aims to cut the cancer death rate in half over the next 25 years and provide greater support to caregivers and survivors.
The president will give the speech at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library 60 years to the day of President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 moonshot address at Rice University in Houston.
Biden launched the cancer moonshot at the tail end of the Obama administration. After a hiatus during the Trump administration, the president relaunched the initiative in February.
