Stupid Cancer

Our Vision

Everyone affected by AYA cancer can Get Busy Living.

Our Values

We believe that all people should receive equal access to quality, holistic cancer care no matter their diagnosis, location, means, age, race, ethnicity, ability, sexuality, or gender.

We believe that creating space for young people with cancer to connect and build community is the most powerful antidote to the isolation that often defines the AYA cancer experience.

We believe that adolescents and young adults with cancer deserve targeted resources that address the specific challenges they face, and bold advocacy where traditional systems fall short.

We believe in the value of connecting with our community in an honest, unapologetic voice.

We believe in putting young people first by partnering with others to address the gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and research for the adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer community.

We believe cancer for an AYA isn’t just a medical issue— it’s a life issue.

We believe in the AYA Bill of Rights.  

We believe in flipping cancer the bird.
