🎥 Share your story to help protect cancer research funding. If you've been impacted by advancements in cancer research or recent cuts to clinical trials, we want to hear from you.

Every cancer research breakthrough leads to stories. Stories of strength. Stories of hope.

Congress needs to understand that cancer research funding isn’t just about numbers or budgets—it’s about people.

If you’ve been impacted by cancer, share your story to help show #CancerResearch saves lives.
