As we reflect on the past year and look forward to 2025, all of us at Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) have one mission: continue to raise awareness and fund research to detect and treat cancers with the aspiration to cure all patients.
For people living with cancer, time can be the greatest gift. And thanks to your support, Stand Up To Cancer is driving some of the most promising cancer research in the world.
We are grateful for your generosity which allows us to continue developing better cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment options – saving lives now, and giving cancer patients more time with their loved ones.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season, and a happy, healthy new year.
With gratitude,

PATIENT STORY
Eight years ago, while Marshella was being checked for infertility, her doctor noticed something irregular on her mammogram. After numerous tests, she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and went through radiation, surgery, and aggressive chemo.
“Cancer has made me more appreciative of the little things I may have overlooked prior to my diagnosis. I make more time for the people and things that make me happy.”
At age 50, Marshella is still in remission and just celebrated her fourth wedding anniversary with husband Lance.
