Ken Youner
Englewood, New Jersey

I am a retired MD, six year survivor of stage 4 kidney cancer. I am medical director of Action to Cure Kidney Cancer, Northern NJ Livestrong Army leader and super-advocate for the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.

I lost my beloved wife Cecile to the beast last year. I have dedicated myself to continue fighting cancer in her memory. I have set up the Cecile and Ken Youner Fund for Cancer Research. I have 2 children and 2 fantastic granddaughters.
