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.
