R.
A. BLOCH CANCER FOUNDATION-Their philosophy is that KNOWLEDGE
HEALS,
IGNORANCE DESTROYS. In 1978, Richard Bloch, co-founder and honorary
chairman
of the board of H&R Block, Inc. was diagnosed with “terminal” lung
cancer. With the help of his wife, Annette, doctors who said he could
beat
the cancer, and his own determination, Bloch waged a bitter two-year
war
on the insidious disease. So dramatic was his fight and recovery that
Bloch
and his wife are now devoting their lives to helping others stricken
with
cancer. Link to an
insightful
quote about hope from Richard A. Bloch.
