We are a team of cancer survivors and caregivers dedicated to fighting cancer. Each of us who are cancer survivors has experienced the difficult treatment and care decisions that come when one hears "You've got cancer". We are committed to advocating for increased funding for cancer research, patient treatment and care, and for prevention and early detection of cancer. Our team is in the 36th Congressional District which borders Santa Monica Bay west of Los Angeles.

Making Cancer Issues a National Priority
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is leading the way in making cancer issues a national priority.  From making cities and states smoke-free to ensuring that all women have access to mammograms, ACS CAN is building the grassroots movement that will help eradicate this terrible disease. 

ACS CAN is a grassroots membership organization that will give cancer advocates the opportunity to shape legislators' and candidates’ agendas to ensure that they include important cancer-related issues and to hold our officials publicly accountable for the votes they take on cancer-related legislation.

Thank you for taking the fight against cancer to Sacramento & Washington. Your hard work gives a voice to all cancer survivors and to those who have lost their battle. Raising legislator awareness is imperative in order to sustain funding for cancer programs and research. With budget cuts on the horizon your work is especially important and appreciated.
