Stand Up To Cancer - 2012 - FULL Telecast HD
What is Stand Up To Cancer? Simple. We're a groundbreaking initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now.
Who do we Stand for? Everyone who's lost their hair, their energy, their hope. Everyone who's spent the night by a loved one's hospital bed. Everyone who's had to pull out their black suits and dresses to say goodbye to yet another friend.
Who's had to watch their own children suffer. We Stand Up for those still in the fight and for those who have lost. For those battling this disease with a strength they never knew they had. For those who've beat it and for everyone who will.
Why now? Because the solution is within our reach.
Will you Stand with us?

SU2C Patient Story: Avalanna
Published on Sep 15, 2012 by SU2C
Despite her rare diagnosis with an
atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) and enduring multiple rounds of
chemotherapy, radiation and cell transplants, 6-year-old Avalanna lived
life with an exuberance that inspired everyone around her. Broadcast as
part of the September 7, 2012 Stand Up To Cancer telecast, Avalanna's
story is a reminder of the critical need for additional research for
children facing cancer everywhere. Avalanna passed on September 26,
2012. All of us at Stand Up To Cancer stand together, heartbroken, with
the family of Avalanna Routh. For six years, she shared her courage,
sparkling wit, bravery and strength with the world. Despite our tears,
we will forever carry with us a gratitude for having encountered a life
and spirit as precious as hers.
SU2C is bringing together the best and the brightest researchers and encouraging collaboration instead of competition among the entire cancer community. By galvanizing the entertainment industry, SU2C creates awareness and builds broad public support for this effort.
This is where the end of cancer begins: when we unite in one movement, unstoppable.
Here we stand, on the verge of unlocking the answers that will finally conquer cancer.
Cancer takes one person every minute. One life in a moment. They are our brothers, our sisters, our fathers and mothers, our husbands and wives, our best friends, our children, ourselves. Every day in America 1500 people die despite the fact that the means to save them are literally within our reach. To wait any longer for someone else to save our lives and the lives of those we love is unforgivable. We must act now.
For the first time in history, we can envision the possibility of stopping cancer in its tracks. Now more than ever, as government funding for cancer research is disappearing from the national agenda, every single one of us affected by cancer must stand up and be heard.
