Everyone knows someone who has been impacted by cancer. When we set out to create our 2024 Stand Up To Cancer campaign, we put a spotlight on the people behind-the-scenes -- those who helped create our new SU2C ad. They detailed their own heartfelt experiences with cancer. Take a look and share your story, too. Standing up for the people we love: #priceless.

I can beat anything I can. I beat cancer once and now that it's back, I'm going to beat it again. When I tried to staff this project, I wanted people who either have or had cancer or took care of somebody with cancer who had that empathy, who had that understanding. I am a breast cancer survivor. I got diagnosed last year with breast cancer. They found six polyps, and four of those polyps were precancerous. I also have a condition called F1, which makes tumors grow on my nerves. My father. Passed away from lung cancer. My mom is a two time breast cancer survivor. My father was diagnosed about two years ago with brain cancer. My mother had breast cancer. I was her caregiver. And what I will say is I turned my pain into purpose. You know, now what I'm doing is I'm trying to create work that just inspires people to have a conversation. Even the fact that I'm here at the shoot right now on a day that I had chemo and I have chemo running through my body at this very moment is a lot for me. It's not just a job anymore, it's something promoter caused. It just elevates how you work, why you want to work on it, and it just feels good. The crazy part that comes with it is you start realizing all the people that have actually gone through this, It's like I never felt alone. We work on a lot of campaigns and you're just like, we're not curing cancer. Well, we kind of are ish, or at least trying to. It means the world to be here. I have the support of MasterCard and I'm so happy to be a part of this. I stand up for my mom, I stand up for my aunt. I stand up for my dad, I stand up for my mom, I stand up for everybody, I stand up for myself and all of those who are fighting.

This post by the Working with Cancer Initiative is a fantastic example of how employers can support employees affected by cancer. Sharing personal stories helps break down the stigma and fosters a supportive work environment. For our followers: consider creating a platform where employees can share their experiences and receive support from colleagues. Encourage open dialogue and provide resources to help employees navigate their cancer journey. Our Tree of Life Employee Vitality and Cancer Defense Program embodies this holistic approach. It supports individuals at every phase of cancer—diagnosis and treatment, survivorship, caregiving, and preventative lifestyle—enhancing their quality of life and fostering a supportive workplace culture. Kudos to Working with Cancer Initiative for leading the way in improving workplace support for cancer. #workingwithcancerinitiative #workingwithcancer #cancercommunity #takethepledge

Tomorrow is World Cancer Day. In my experience, everyone has a cancer story! I don't know my entire family history, but I do know that I have a family history of cancer. So I keep an eye out for the signs! Even without a history, I believe it is critical to be proactive rather than reactive when dealing with cancer. Then the fear: What if I develop cancer? becomes: What if I am too unaware to recognise the early signs of cancer? Recognising warning signs for yourself and loved ones could empower you to take action if necessary. https://lnkd.in/eGuF_ZBF #WorldCancerDay #CloseTheCareGap
