Fighting Cancer.
Inspiring Hope.
Athletes Fighting Cancer
Athletes Fighting Cancer empowers young athletes facing cancer with the resources they need to keep moving forward – during and after treatment. Through financial support for care not covered by insurance – like physical therapy, medical devices and prosthetics, training and nutrition, and care-related travel – we help athletes recover and rebuild. We want athletes and their families to know they are never alone, and never without a team.
Our Mission & Identity
