American Cancer Society

Has anyone in your life ever been affected by cancer?

I have been affected by cancer. There are a few people in my family plus my great aunt who is in remission from Leukemia. She is an amazing person. She is my paternal grandmother's sister. I have to think about that. That is great aunt, right?

Anyway she is a great mother and someone who has really touched my life. I don't see herself. I certainly don't talk to her enough but I think about her often.

For 100 years, the American Cancer Society has led the fight against cancer finding cures, giving support, and saving lives.

FACTS FROM THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

• 100's of research studies go unfunded each year.
• 577,000 Americans died of cancer this year.
• 60 years ago, 1 out of 3 people diagnosed with cancer survived at least 5 years.
• Today, thanks in part to the work of the American Cancer Society, 2 out of 3 will survive. The American Cancer Society won't stop until they make it 3 out of 3.

The American Cancer Society has a proven track record of supporting the best ideas of the brightest cancer researchers. We've been part of nearly every major cancer breakthrough in recent history, and have 46 Nobel Laureates to show for it. Cancer thrives on silence, complacency, and business as usual. Only action will finish the fight.
