The Extra Mile - The Official Charity Miles Podcast

We're thrilled to share this interview with Dr. Bill Dahut, Chief Scientific Officer of the American Cancer Society.

Dr. Dahut is a renowned oncologist and researcher who is helping set the vision for the world’s most innovative cancer research initiatives.

In this interview, we cover a wide range of topics, including the groundbreaking research the American Cancer Society is supporting, the critical role of early cancer detection, and how lifestyle choices like diet, and exercise can significantly reduce cancer risk.

Dr. Dahut is both inspiring and empowering, because he gives us an inside view for how we can all make an impact —not only by fundraising but also by living healthier lives to reduce our risk of getting cancer.

After all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
