The Lance Armstrong Foundation has been “inspiring and empowering” cancer sufferers and their families since 1997. They began as a small group trying to raise money to fight cancer and now, as LIVESTRONG, are funding programs worldwide to improve the quality of life for members of the global cancer community.
Stand Up To Cancer is a new initiative created to accelerate groundbreaking cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives. SU2C's goal is to bring together the best and the brightest in the cancer community, encouraging collaboration instead of competition. By galvanizing the entertainment industry, SU2C creates awareness and builds broad public support for this effort.
