Elekta is proud to now serve as a presenting sponsor for the All Are Our Heroes song project, an effort that uniquely celebrates and supports the efforts to overcome cancer.

ATLANTA, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- In our field, where we focus so intently on the science of cancer care, it's easy to lose sight of the human stories and triumphs that are a part of the journey.

In just weeks, the song "Heroes" has become an anthem for all those touched by cancer and is at the core of efforts to sustain awareness about the fight against cancer.

David Greer, a Georgia media and marketing entrepreneur, wrote All Are Our Heroes as he reflected on the faces of the people in the Survivor's Walk at his local Relay for Life. His Heroes project is a magical collaboration of creative and musical talent, fueled with the support of corporate citizens and cancer advocates and shared worldwide through social networking and new media.

David enlisted the talents of Rachel Farley, just 14, an up-and-coming country music artist as a co-writer and singer.

"The mission is to bring people around the world together to inspire participation and support for cancer advocacy, prevention and research," says Greer. "I'm a dreamer and if you're going to dream, dream big."

"Elekta is proud to embrace and support the Heroes project," stated Joseph K. Jachinowski, President and CEO of Elekta North America. "We'll be adding the Heroes seal and link to our clinical correspondence and spreading the message to our worldw
