More than a wristband
Settling for surviving isn’t good enough. It’s time to change how we help people live with cancer. Livestrong isn’t just about hope. Our legacy is more than a wristband. We are listeners, collaborators, and practical problem solvers improving the everyday lives of anyone dealing with cancer.
Which everyday cancer problem will we fix today?
Our mission begins with a question, not a statement, because we are passionate about finding new solutions to make every day a little easier for those navigating cancer. Because if you’re living with cancer, you deserve more than hope for a better tomorrow. You deserve a better today.
It began with one person on January 9th, 1997, and became about the millions diagnosed with cancer every year. Early on, we defined the term survivorship—the belief that anyone affected by cancer deserves relief from their day-to-day challenges and the stigma of what it means to live with cancer. From there we championed the field, but not before an iconic yellow wristband took the world by storm.
We are a small but passionate group that works each day to honor those we love who have been affected by cancer. For our leaders, the Livestrong mission is more than words—it is a daily call to find new ways to make life easier and provide tangible and meaningful help where it’s needed most.
Livestrong gave me hope and the reason to go another minute, another day.
