Up Cancer is targeted at young adults between the ages of 18 to 39. However, everyone of all ages who want to learn and become a part of the community is welcome. Friends, families, and individuals who were children or young adults when first diagnosed with cancer are welcomed. Let's work together to improve lives.
A significant part of our mission is to educate the world about early detection, promote accessible information about cancer, and reduce mortality rates. We do so by tackling issues facing the young adult cancer community and advocating for a change that will help in the diagnosis and treatment stages of cancer.
Together we engage the young adult cancer community as well as their friends, family, and caregivers. If you are a cancer survivor or caregiver, you are familiar with the emotional, financial, and physical challenges to overcome. As an Up Cancer family, we aim to support and encourage each other throughout and after one's cancer treatment.
Up Cancer's ultimate goal is to empower young adult cancer survivors to rise up and help those who are newly diagnosed. It is our responsibility to improve the quality of life of future young adult cancer survivors by making it easier for those diagnosed and undergoing treatment.
