Access to Care in California - Every cancer. Every life.

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.
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.
Our discovery research leads to breakthroughs in preventing, finding, and treating cancer. Through direct patient support, we connect people in every community with essential programs and support services throughout their cancer journey. Our advocacy work removes barriers to care so people in every community can have an opportunity to access those breakthroughs.
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.
