Look “Who” is coming to a National Press Club luncheon on Monday, Nov. 12.

The program, founded a year ago by Daltrey and fellow rock icon Pete Townshend, is based at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Now the pair is moving forward with plans for Teen Cancer America, a program to set up units in hospitals and medical centers in strategic areas around the country. Daltrey and Townshend have supported a similar program called Teenage Cancer Trust in the United Kingdom.
