Meet Kate, a breast cancer survivor and a participant in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® (MSABC) in San Diego. After losing her mom and sister to cancer, Kate knew she needed to be proactive about her health. Despite her experience with cancer's harsh realities, her own diagnosis was still a shock. Thankfully, early screening led to quick diagnosis and treatment. Motivated by her losses and personal battle, Kate was determined to help others avoid her experience. In 2023, she joined MSABC in San Diego and raised over $2,500. In California, the American Cancer Society impacted 3.2 million lives in 2023. The American Cancer Society exists to improve the lives of cancer patients and their families. We are the only organization that integrates discovery, advocacy, and direct patient support to measurably improve lives. Because while cancer affects everyone, it doesn’t affect everyone equally. Through our commitment to these areas of focus, we are working to ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. Join the fight like Kate did to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. To donate visit donate.cancer.org. To volunteer for ACS visit cancer.org/volunteer.

Meet Jesse Nodora, ACS CAN CA Legislative Ambassador and Associate Professor at UC San Diego School of Medicine, and P Kay Coleman, Treasurer ACS CAN National Board of Directors and ACS CAN CA Legislative Ambassador. Last year in California ACS CAN: ● Led the effort to remove co-pay for colorectal cancer screenings to increase screening rates in California and nationally. ● Helped expand biomarker testing coverage. ● Engaged 91 residents in VIVE’s advocacy activities in Imperial and Riverside counties. ● Helped end the sale of flavored tobacco. ● Engaged 59 cities in campaigns to strengthen local tobacco prevention and control policies. By activating grassroots volunteers nationwide like Jesse and Kay, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) fights cancer in city halls, statehouses, and Congress by elevating the patient voice to advance policy change. We are making cancer a national priority through our advocacy efforts: ● We ensure that funding the cancer fight remains a top priority to drive innovation in cancer screening, diagnostics, and treatment. ● We are working to reduce the tobacco burden, still a leading cause of preventable cancer death. ● We are working to increase access to care, which is essential for people facing cancer. ● We are working to increase clinical trial enrollment opportunities for people of color, who are often underrepresented. ● We are working to address the economic burden of cancer. ● We’re removing barriers to early cancer detection, regardless of ability to pay. To contribute, visit donate.cancer.org. Learn more about our advocacy work at fightcancer.org.
