ONE VOICE AGAINST CANCER

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

With Livestrong Day just days away, Livestrong advocates Band Together TODAY to urge Congress to increase federal funding for cancer programs.

STAND WITH US - MAKE A GIFT

While the U.S. has made much progress against cancer in the past half-century, more funding is desperately needed to meet the overwhelming demand for research grants, address cancer health disparities, and continue preventing, detecting, and treating cancer. In FY23, we ask Congress to support:

$49 billion for the base budget of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
$7.766 billion for the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
$462.6 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) cancer programs

Now through Livestrong Day (5/12/22 at 11:59pm CST), your donation will be matched!

UNITY IS STRENGTH

Meet Liz, 15-year lung cancer survivor and Livestrong advocate. Liz is lobbying Congress with us today as part of One Voice Against Cancer (OVAC). She explained to us why she uses her voice to inspire a better today for cancer survivors:

"Being a patient for all these years made me want to give back to the medical community and be sure cancer is getting its due funding.  I've lost far too many friends from this disease, and I want to be a voice for the ones that are missing."

"I love volunteering for Livestrong...the motivation to serve the cancer community as a whole is palpable when more than just one of us is in a room.  It's pretty cool!"

GET READY FOR LIVESTRONG DAY ON MAY 12
