You’re Not Alone
in the Fight Against Cancer

You're Not Alone You don’t have to fight cancer alone.  Amgen’s Breakaway from Cancer aims to raise awareness of the comprehensive continuum of resources available to cancer patients – from prevention to education, and patient care to advocacy and financial support.   The Breakaway from Cancer charitable partners include the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, Patient Advocate Foundation, Prevent Cancer Foundation and The Wellness Community. In addition, Amgen and Breakaway from Cancer have joined forces with the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer to help spread the word about working together to conquer cancer.
