In May...

 

More than 50% of cancer deaths could be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices like not smoking or using other tobacco products, maintaining a healthy body weight, getting regular physical activity, eating a healthy diet, limiting alcohol consumption and getting cancer screening tests.

  • Send a Mother's Day card that will save lives! ACS CAN is providing Mother's Day e-cards promoting the legislative issue of establishing a program that will provide access to colon cancer screening.

Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.

Cancer may have won some battles, but will never win the war,
We cancer fighters will never stop we're reaching for the stars,
Cancer's taken too many lives, but one day soon will be no more,
We'll fight with faith and fight with strength until our spirits soar.

So many battles have been fought, we've worked hard for the cures,
Our thoughts, our hopes, our dreams to win, have kept our motives pure,
Never give up, never surrender, our battle cry proud and strong,
And one day soon we'll see the end, we pray it won't be long.

Til cancer breathes its final breath, down for the count, you'll see,
Never again to hurt and kill, for no more cancer there will be,
But for now, cancer take your stand, soon we'll stop you in your tracks,
Never give up, never surrender, Celebrate, Remember Fight Back!
