Stand Up To Cancer

Tonight Try Change highlights a new initiative called Stand Up To Cancer. As stated on their website part of Stand Up To Cancer's Mission Statement says:

"Cancer takes one person every minute. One life in a moment. They are our brothers, our sisters, our fathers and mothers, our husbands and wives, our best friends, our children, ourselves. Every day in America 1500 people die and yet the means to save them are literally within our reach. To wait any longer for someone else to save our lives and the lives of those we love is unforgivable.

Inspired to act by our own personal experiences with cancer, we recognize that we can no longer rely on the current system alone to give us the breakthroughs we need. So, we are calling on the public to help take matters into our own hands, investing in a revolution that will change the way scientist and clinicians work to understand and treat these diseases. Stand Up To Cancer is more than a rallying cry. It is a galvanizing force created to urgently move cancer research forward.

This is where the end of cancer begins: when we unite in one unstoppable movement and Stand Up To Cancer."

We are the one's we have been waiting for...

Both of our families have been touched by Cancer and so this cause is particularly close to our hearts. We invite you to visit the Stand up to Cancer website and see how you can make a difference. You can even create a star in honor of a loved one who is or has fought cancer.
