Belief and motive:
Once we know the truth that cancer is close behind us or anyone of us, we should deal it with fear but with science and research. If you wait for more time and depend on others to save the lives of people you love, it is unforgivable, so act now and as one group.
Finance:
The SU2C team today includes a fine team of scientists, technicians, clinicians and all other science related experts. Their funding is made possible with the support and guidance and administration of the American Association for Cancer Research. It is the largest and finest cancer research organization and they help the Stand up To Cancer’s “Blue Ribbon” dream to come through under continual mentoring sessions.
Need:
The SU2C felt the need to fight against cancer when they realized two things:
One was people all around were dying without help and the other was science proved to have the power to drive away cancer. But many a times, due to lack of funds these projects come to a dead end. So with a cooperative mind to research and fund in for the projects, they believe that cancer can be defeated.
Today they have the hope that their team of experts can create breakthroughs in the history of science. When mankind unites together for a common cause- that will be the end of cancer is what they teach the public.
Their Uniqueness
It is their innovative funding model that enables research is what makes them unique. This was made possible through two different scientific grants.
Dream Team grants are those awarded to scientists who have the confidence to research and develop powerful treatments against cancer.
Innovative Research Grants are awarded to multi institutional scientist collaborations who are determined to develop new treatments relatively quickly and save people. Just as quick as they are, they have a high risk and impact that could affect patient care, but it is step to at least trying to save people.
Till date, they have completed about 150 clinical trials and they have effectively used for more than 5200 patients. All the funds have been donated from the public and numerous cancer research programs.
Testimonials
“Being a survivor doesn’t mean being strong or brave or cured — it’s about embracing your vulnerability and learning to ask for help. It’s about realizing that your time is valuable — what you do with it, how you spend it and with whom.”- Suleika Jaouad
