3 boys searching for live

September 2009 Peter Kapitein, Jan Gerrit Schuurman and Coen van Veenendaal visited the United States of America. At that moment the health bill, which is the first attempt for a fair healthcare system at a national scale, did not yet get through Congress. In this huge country that sometimes seems to have lost its sense of direction, they look for wisdom. They visit The Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, the Rockefeller University and The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

Never Ever Quit! is their motto. They want the impossible and they are looking for its beginning. They are that practical, after all. Where the impossible starts something new may be in reach.

They start with cancer. Too many people are dying of cancer each year. In total 8 million all over the world. The three boys carried with them two big questions :

1. Is it possible to get cancer in control and can it be made a chronic disease? A disease that allows people good quality of life even when they are forced to live with the cancer?
2. If so, how can we stimulate the scientific research so that this will happen and we will be able to tell to people: ´Yes you do have cancer but it is under control´.
