#24-Jeff Gordon is headed back to Rwanda this week for one of the most important trips of his life. The Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation is a major supporter of the first-of-its-kind cancer center in a rural part of the African nation. The grand opening is Wednesday. President Clinton will be there, too, along with Rwanda’s president, Paul Kagame. ‘When they look at the projections in a developing country like East Africa, cancer is on the rise there,’ said Gordon, whose second trip to Rwanda was in December with his wife and their 4-year-old daughter. ‘(Cancer) can be very curable and treatable in many cases, (but) it’s just not happening. ‘This is a big step, and I can ‘t wait to get there and be a part of this event.’(Indianapolis Star), more ifnormation about Gordon’s trip and the cancer center in Rwanda, go to jeffgordonchildrensfoundation.org.(7-15-2012)
