Cancer effects us all, but no one is truely powerless in the effort to end this disease. Now is your chance to Fight Back and let your voice be heard.

Taking part in ACS CAN's legislative campaigns on the national, state and local level is fun and easy to do. There are activities and issues that we focus on year-round, and you can help to lead our campaigns to victory.

This month, we're asking you to help us collect stories of how cancer research has improved quality of life for cancer patients, survivors and their families.

Picture the day when there is no more death and suffering due to cancer. Picture the day when researchers have all the tools they need to prevent and treat cancer. Picture the day when we can make cancer history.

That day can come sooner with your help! We know that the key to better survival rates from cancer is research. You can help us to protect funding for cancer research this month through Picture A Cure. This new tool is fun and easy to use. All you need to do is upload a photo and write your personal story!

Then help us promote Picture A Cure through your social networks, family and friends to begin collecting their stories as well. I can Picture A Cure. Can you?
