Stand Up To Cancer

Cancer takes one person every minute. One life in a moment. They are our brothers, our sisters, our fathers and mothers, our husbands and wives, our best friends, our children, ourselves.

Just when science is on the verge of the breakthroughs that can end cancer, the will and the funding are disappearing from the national agenda. The time has come to join together to accelerate the development of life-saving cancer prevention, detection and treatment.

Harnessing the power and influence of the media, an extraordinary line-up of actors, musicians, athletes and journalists will be appearing in an historic, nationally televised event to Stand Up To Cancer, simultaneously broadcast live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS and NBC on September 5, 2008, at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Stand Up To Cancer is more than a rallying cry. It is a galvanizing force created to urgently move research on all forms of cancer forward.
PLEDGE TO TUNE IN: I recognize that this is where the end of cancer begins: when we unite together in one unstoppable movement and Stand Up To Cancer. I pledge to learn more by watching this groundbreaking television program on September 5 at 8 p.m.
