Together We Can End Cancer as We Know It

Chances are, you know someone personally who has battled cancer. By 2030, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to top 23 million. One critical way we can fight back, according to Dr. Jill Biden, former US Second Lady and Co-Chair of the Biden Cancer Initiative: Break down the silos. “If we stopped research entirely and never spent another dime on finding new cures, we could still save thousands of lives by doing one thing – breaking down the barriers in this movement and sharing the knowledge that already exists.” (Watch Dr. Biden's keynote address from the StartUp Health Festival here.) At StartUp Health, we believe that to defeat cancer once and for all, we must rally under a global Cancer Moonshot. That's going to require an unprecedented level of collaboration. We invite you to stay informed, stay inspired, and join this movement.
