When the American Cancer Society first began fighting cancer, less than 20% (1 in 5) survived the disease. Now, thanks to friends like you, the five-year relative survival rates for cancer have increased to 60% (3 in 5)! It's a fact: every time you support our lifesaving efforts, you give someone you love a better chance of beating cancer. Could any gift be more importnat? Please give what you can today!
