Through the active participation of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of well-organized cancer advocates, we will make cancer a global priority. Here are ways you can get active today.
- LIVESTRONG Action—Find opportunities to take action globally, nationally and in your own neighborhood. We provide a platform to reach out to your leaders and to friends, relatives and colleagues who have been affected by cancer to get them involved in the fight, and alert them to ways they can fight cancer in their own lives.
- LIVESTRONG Day 2009—Held on October 2, LIVESTRONG Day is our global day of action to engage people in the fight against cancer.
- Become a leader in your community—Local LIVESTRONG Leaders engage friends, families and community members in collective action to make cancer a priority. Led by cancer survivors and supporters, leaders work within their local communities to raise awareness, reduce stigma and generate funding for the cancer fight.
