ABC's Dan Harris opens up about life, career

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- ABC News anchor Dan Harris lent his support to cancer survivors in Houston Wednesday by serving as the guest speaker at a fundraiser for Cancer Forward Foundation.

The "We Can Go Forward Luncheon 2014" at River Oaks Country Club honored cancer caregivers Rolanette and Berdon Lawrence.

ABC News anchor Dan Harris, author of the new best-selling book, "10% Happier," talked about new research which suggests meditation is an important component in mental and physical health, and a useful tool for cancer survivors.

Eyewitness News anchor Gina Gaston sat down with the Nightline anchor to talk about his journey from an on-air panic attack, to meditation, and following your passion.

Proceeds from the luncheon will underwrite free educational and support services for cancer survivors, their caregivers and families. If you'd like more information go to cancerforward.org.
