Michael Laursen was 8 years old when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It turned his family’s world upside down.
“The image of my mother, weakened by the treatments, is etched in my memory,” writes Laursen, who is now a test analyst for Blizzard Entertainment. He shares more of his personal experience with the disease and its impact on his life in a post on Xbox Wire that he considers a call to action that combines his passion for gaming with the fight against breast cancer.
