Stand Up 2 Cancer “Manifesto”

We used to have such wild dreams. The kind that brought us together, made us a movement. We dreamed we’d split the atom, walk on the moon, unlock our very genetic code. And to those who said impossible, can’t happen, won’t happen — we didn’t hear a word. We stood up and we changed the world. Stand up. Stand up for everyone who can’t rise anymore. One person every minute, one life in a moment, is taken by a disease we can actually cure. And in the time it’s taken to say these words, one more American has died. Unforgivable. This is where the end of cancer begins. When, together, we rise as one. We stand up to cancer.
