BUT THEN A GROUP OF WOMEN WHO WERE FED-UP WITH LOSING LOVED

TO ASK IF THERE WAS A BETTER WAY.
AND THERE WAS, BASED ON COLLABORATION, NOT COMPETITION.
SO THEY CREATED A DREAM TEAM MODEL COMBINING THE BEST DOCTORS

CREATED THE CARES DREAM TEAM.

UNDERSERVED ZONES.
THEY'LL OFFER FREE COLORECTAL SCREENINGS AND COMMUNITY
EDUCATION.
THEY'RE GOING TO HELP PREVENT THIS CANCER OR CATCH IT
EARLIER WHEN TREATMENTS ARE OFTEN MOST EFFECTIVE.
AND EVENTUALLY, "STAND UP TO CANCER" WILL CREATE SIMILAR
ZONES FOR OTHER CANCERS IN ZIP CODES
ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SO THE MAP WILL LOOK LIKE THIS.
ONE UNITED ZONE, GOING AFTER CANCER, BRINGING EVERYBODY
IN EQUALLY.
GUESS WHO SUPPORTS THIS NEW WORK?
EXACT SCIENCES.
THEY'VE JOINED WITH STAND UP TO CANCER TO LAUNCH THESE ZONES,
WORKING TO PROVIDE COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENINGS AND DIAGNOSTIC
TESTS EARLIER, ENABLING PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS TO TAKE ACTION
SOONER AND SAVE LIVES.
THEY'RE USING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO FIGHT CANCER.
GUESS WHO ELSE IS STANDING UP?
PROVIDENCE AND PROVIDENCE SAINT JOHN'S HEALTH CENTER IN LOS
ANGELES.
THEY'RE ALSO SUPPORTING "STAND UP TO CANCER" ZONES TO GET
SCREENING RATES UP, INCREASE HEALTHCARE EQUITY, AND PREVENT
CANCER OR CATCH IT EARLIER.
THAT MEANS MORE PEOPLE HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO LIFESAVING
TREATMENTS.
THANKS TO THEIR SUPPORT AND YOURS, THESE ZONES WILL TURN
THE PROMISE OF EQUITY INTO MORE CANCER SCREENINGS AND
LONG-TERM SURVIVORS.

PASSED IT WITH FLYING COLORS!
>> Ho: THE CHEMOTHERAPY I WAS STARTING WAS NEW AT THE TIME.
WE HAD A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF US, BUT TAKING THIS TEST WAS MY WAY
OF SAYING, "I'M GOING TO BEAT THIS!"
I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT I'M CANCER-FREE 13 YEARS AND
COUNTING.
>> Jeong: YOU ARE THE REASON I GOT INVOLVED WITH "STAND UP TO
CANCER."
CANCER" IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND I AM HERE TO CELEBRATE YOU, BECAUSE YOU COMPLETE ME, HO!
>> Ho: WE'RE HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN THE WORK
THAT "STAND UP TO CANCER" IS DOING.
IT'S SIMPLE: SCIENCE SAVES LIVES.
SCIENCE SAVED MY LIFE >> Jeong: AND SCIENTISTS ON ALL
THE DIFFERENT "STAND UP TO CANCER" RESEARCH TEAMS CONTINUE
TO WORK BEHIND THE SCENES ON SOME REALLY GROUNDBREAKING NEW
STUFF.
THEY'RE TRAINING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO DETECT LESIONS
UNDETECTABLE TO THE HUMAN EYE, OTHERS ARE REPROGRAMMING YOUR
T-CELLS INTO CANCER FINDING MACHINES.
AND TOGETHER WITH THEIR PARTNERS AT THE VAN ANDEL INSTITUTE,
"STAND UP TO CANCER" HAS A DREAM TEAM EXPLORING SOMETHING CALLED
IMMUNOEPIGENETICS THAT INVOLVES ACTIVATING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
AND SWITCHING KEY GENES ON OR OFF TO HELP DESTROY CANCER
CELLS.
AND THEIR LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN
PATIENTS' LIVES.
>> Ho: IT'S TRULY INCREDIBLE.
DOCTORS, SCIENTISTS, AND RESEARCHERS ARE THINKING OUTSIDE
THE BOX.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO END CANCER; THAT'S WHAT IT
TAKES TO MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE.
>> "STAND UP TO CANCER" CAME AT A VERY CRITICAL TIME.
>> EVERYONE WAS SILOED AND SHARING DATA WAS A VERY
DIFFICULT THING.
>> NOW WE CAN CREDIBLY SAY...
>> IT'S A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT.
>> DREAM TEAMS.
>> IMMUNOTHERAPY.
>> CONVERGENCE.
>> INNOVATIVE APPROACHES.
>> TECHNOLOGIES AND GENETICS.
>> PRECISION MEDICINE.
>> PHARMA.
>> CLINICAL TRIALS.
>> INTERCEPTION.
>> FUNDING.
>> MOMENTUM.
>> HOPE.
>> "STAND UP TO CANCER" REALLY ALLOWS US TO TAKE CHANCES, AND
THEY ARE OKAY WITH NOT ALL THE IDEAS WORKING TO GET THAT
SPECIAL ONE THAT'S GOING TO MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
>> THE WAR ON CANCER STARTED IN 1971.
WE DID NOT THINK WE HAD THE TOOLS TO CURE CANCER.
WHAT'S ACTUALLY CHANGED?
>> CANCER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT DEATH SENTENCE THAT WE USED
TO THINK ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.
>> IT'S SCIENTISTS.
IT'S TECHNOLOGISTS, ADVOCATES.
IT'S PATIENTS.
WE'RE ALL WORKING TOGETHER.
>> "STAND UP TO CANCER" HAS MADE TEAM SCIENCE THE NORM.
>> AND THAT'S WHY "STAND UP TO CANCER" IS THERE SHOUTING, "“NOW,
NOW, NOW!
LET'S GO!
>> THE FIRST TIME IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WE'RE STARTING TO SEE
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
>> I'M LOOKING AT AN AMAZING ARSENAL OF DIVERSE WEAPONRY.
>> QUANTITATIVE WAYS OF THINKING.
>> COGNITIVE THERAPY.
>> COMBINATION THERAPIES.
>> TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT.
>> BIOINFORMATICS.
>> GEONOMICS.
>> LET'S JUST PUSH IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
LET'S MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE, >> WATCH WHAT'S POSSIBLE WHEN
TEAMS COME TOGETHER AND THEY'RE FUNDED BY SOMEONE WHO CARES.
>> "STAND UP TO CANCER" STARTED THE REVOLUTION, BUT IT'S AN
EVOLVING REVOLUTION.
>> THERE'S NO TURNING BACK.
>> Ho: ONE THING THAT MAKES "STAND UP TO CANCER" UNIQUE IS
THAT THEY BRING EXPERT VOICES, DIVERSE DONORS, AND
COLABORATORS TOGETHER TO DEVELOP THE MOST GAME-CHANGING
RESEARCH.
>> Jeong: THANKS TO THEIR NEWEST DONORS, THIS YEAR STAND UP TO
CANCER WILL LAUNCH TWO NEW CATALYST TEAMS AND A NEW
RESEARCH TEAM DEDICATED TO FINDING TREATMENTS FOR HEAD AND
NECK CANCERS, WHICH ARE DIAGNOSED IN ABOUT 67,000
AMERICANS ANNUALLY.
BUT IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS, IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE'S
STORIES THAT BRING THE REALITY OF CANCER'S IMPACT INTO FOCUS.
>> Ho: ON THE SHOW IN 2012, A WIFE AND MOTHER HAD JUST GIVEN
BIRTH WHEN SHE FOUND OUT SHE HAD STAGE FOUR PANCREATIC CANCER.
>> Jeong: SHE UNDERWENT AN EXPERIMENTAL CHEMOTHERAPY, WHICH
WAS APPROVED BY THE F.D.A.
THANKS, IN PART, TO STAND UP TO CANCER-FUNDED RESEARCH.
AND SHE BEAT THE ODDS.
BUT AS IT IS TOO OFTEN WITH CANCER, IT CAME BACK LAST YEAR.
>> Ho: FORTUNATELY, ELIZABETH O'CONNOR ONCE AGAIN RECEIVED
NEW CUTTING EDGE TREATMENTS AND THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT:
MORE TIME.
>> WHEN I WAS FIVE-YEARS-OLD MY MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.
AFTER SHE HAD MY BROTHER I JUST REMEMBER HER BEING SICK A LOT.
AND IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.
>> PRESS THE RECORD BUTTON.
YOU PRESS IT?
OKAY, THERE WE GO.
>> NOW I GOT IT.
>> I'M ABIGAIL O'CONNOR.
>> HI, MY NAME IS ANDREW O'CONNOR.
>> I'M 15 YEARS OLD.
>> I'M 10 YEARS OLD.
>> AND I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY FAMILY.
ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO MY MOM WAS ON "STAND UP TO CANCER."
I REMEMBER THEM COMING TO OUR HOUSE AND FILMING.
AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D TRULY SEEN MY MOM AND DAD CRY.
>> WE'VE HAD SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES OF THE FAMILY THE PAST
10 YEARS.
>> MY FAVORITE MEMORIES GROWING UP WAS TAKING TRIPS TO DUSTIN,
BECAUSE MY BIRTHDAY USED TO ALWAYS BE THAT WEEK.
SO, IT WAS LIKE I GOT TO GO TO THE BEACH FOR MY BIRTHDAY EVERY
YEAR.
♪ HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ABIGAIL >> BEING ABLE TO FISH WITH MY
DAD.
>> YOUR TURN, DADDY.
>> GOOD JOB, BUD.
>> ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRIPS WAS WHEN WE WENT TO DISNEY IN 2018.
IT WAS OUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
>> WE GET TO GO TO DISNEY WORLD!
>> IT'S VERY EXCITING RIDING THE ROLLERCOASTERS WITH MY MOM.
HER LAUGH JUST KIND OF LIKE CARRIES, LIKE "“HA-HA."”
[ LAUGHTER] >> THAT'S WHY WE MAKE HER LAUGH,
TO HEAR IT, 'CAUSE MAKES EVERYONE ELSE LAUGH.
[ LAUGHTER] >> MOM, HOW VALUABLE DO YOU
THINK TIME IS?
>> IT'S A GIFT, REALLY.
>> CANCER RESEARCH HAS DEFINITELY MADE AN IMPACT ON MY
MOM.
>> WE'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO BE A PART OF A LOT OF NEW
TREATMENTS THAT HAVE GIVEN ELIZABETH TIME TO GET TO THE
NEXT BEST THING.
>> IT'S UNHEARD OF TO LIVE 10+ YEARS FOR PANCREATIC CANCER.
>> MY MOM IS A FIGHTER.
SHE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO FIGHT FOR HER LIFE SO SHE CAN BE HERE
WITH US.
>> PUSH, PUSH, YOU GOT IT.
[ SCREAMS] [ LAUGHTER]
ABIGAIL, YOUR BROTHER.
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> I CAN'T PUT IT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME TO SPEND
MORE TIME WITH MY FAMILY, TO NOT HAVE THAT FEAR THAT I WOULDN'T
BE AROUND.
>> THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME, IS THAT SHE'S HERE.
>> TO PEOPLE WATCHING AT HOME I WOULD SAY THANK YOU AND PLEASE
DONATE SO YOU CAN HELP MORE PEOPLE LIKE MY MOM.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW MY LIFE WOULD BE WITHOUT HER.
>> YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE LEFT WITH
SOMEONE, SO THAT TIME IS VERY IMPORTANT.
>> I LOVE YOU FOREVER.
>> Jeong: ELIZABETH O'CONNOR'S ACCESS TO THE LATEST
IMMUNOTHERAPY DRUGS WAS VITAL TO HER.
"STAND UP TO CANCER," SINCE ITS INCEPTION, HAS SUPPORTED MANY
TEAMS STUDYING IMMUNOTHERAPY, ONE OF THE MOST PROMISING AREAS
OF CANCER RESEARCH TODAY >> Ho: HOWEVER, IN 1998,
PANCREATIC CANCER PATIENTS HAD PRACTICALLY NO EFFECTIVE
TREATMENT OPTIONS.
>> Jeong: SINCE THEN, THE LUSTGARTEN FOUNDATION HAS FUNDED
THE SCIENCE THAT HAS BEEN A PART OF NEARLY EVERY SIGNIFICANT
ADVANCEMENT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST PANCREATIC CANCER IN AN
EFFORT TO TRANSFORM IT INTO A CURABLE DISEASE.
AND TOGETHER WITH "STAND UP TO CANCER," THEY'VE CREATED THE
PANCREATIC CANCER COLLECTIVE TO FUND EVEN MORE CRITICAL RESEARCH
TO GIVE PANCREATIC CANCER PATIENTS, LIKE ELIZABETH
O'CONNOR TIME AND HOPE.
>> Ho: I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO PERSONALLY THANK
EVERYONE WHO HAS ALREADY DONATED TONIGHT.
>> Jeong: AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK SOMEONE WHO WAS THERE FOR
US, OUR GOOD FRIEND, BRADLY COOPER.
>> THANKS KEN AND TRAN.
I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE CANCER TOUCHES ALL OF US.
I'M HERE BECAUSE WHILE THERE HAS BEEN AMAZING PROGRESS IN HOW WE
TREAT CANCER, THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
AND I'M ALSO HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE THIS YEAR MAKES 10 YEARS
SINCE I LOST MY FATHER, CHARLIE COOPER, TO LUNG CANCER.
HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND, AND THERE'S NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY
THAT I DON'T MISS HIM.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SONS, DAUGHTERS, MOTHERS, FATHERS,
FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS ALL AROUND THE WORLD CAN RELATE
TO.
CANCER TOUCHES ALL OF US, AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE ALL OF US TO
CHANGE THAT FACT.
100% OF WHAT YOU GIVE GOES DIRECTLY TO LIFE-SAVING RESEARCH
PROGRAMS, BUT THE TRUE BUT THE TRUE IMPACT OF YOUR GIFT
GOES BEYOND THAT.
YOU ARE GIVING HOPE TO CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES.
SO, PLEASE, GIVE WHAT YOU CAN FROM YOUR HEART.
LET'S STAND TOGETHER, AND END CANCER.
>> AND TO ALL MY FELLOW CANADIANS OUT THERE WHO ARE
WATCHING THE BROADCAST AND WHO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY CANCER AT
THIS HOUR, KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN MY HEART AND I AM STANDING UP
FOR YOU.
THIS YEAR WE'VE MADE IT SUPER EASY FOR YOU TO DONATE.
GO TO THE WEBSITE, CALL THE NUMBER, OR USE THE Q.R. CODE.
DO IT NOW.
AND WHEN YOU DO, YOU'LL RECEIVE A LINK ON YOUR DONATION RECEIPT,
AND THAT LINK WILL GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIDEO CHAT WITH
ONE OF US TONIGHT.
>> STAND UP WITH US.
WE ALL HAVE A STORY.
I HAD A COUSIN NAMED OWEN.
HE HAD RED HAIR AS A LITTLE BOY.
HE WAS A SERIOUS KID AND HE LOVED BIRDS.
IN HIS 28 YEARS, HE TAUGHT ME IN HIS THIRD YEARS, OWEN THOUGHT
ME HOW TO LIVE WELL.
I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW HIM AND LOVE HIM DURING HIS
EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.
>> MY FATHER STARTED CANCER TREATMENT EARLIER THIS YEAR
DURING WHAT WAS ALREADY A VERY DIFFICULT YEAR.
KNOWING THAT 100% OF THE MONEY DONATED TONIGHT GOES TO FUND
RESEARCH AND CANCER TREATMENT IS TO KNOW THAT, THAT MONEY MIGHT
GO TOWARDS HELPING MY DAD, OR YOUR DAD OR ANYONE IN YOUR
FAMILY WHO HAS BEEN TOUCHED BY CANCER, LIKE SO MANY OF US HAVE
JOIN US, DONATE TONIGHT, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> I'M A SURVIVOR.
I WENT TO THE DERMATOLOGIST FOR A SCREENING.
AND THEY FOUND A BASAL CELL CARCINOMA.
THEY REMOVED IT AND I'M OKAY.
LET'S GIVE IN HONOR OF ALL THE SURVIVORS OUT THERE.
>> LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT TWO PEOPLE I'M THINKING ABOUT RIGHT
NOW.
MY LRS ALEXIS WHO PASSED AWAY FROM BREAST CANCER, AND MY
FRIEND WHO IS GOING THROUGH TREATMENT AS WE SPEAK.
TELL EVERYONE TO GET SCREENED, TOO.
EVERYONE, PLEASE, GET ON YOUR FEET AND STAND UP TO CANCER.
>> Ho: "STAND UP TO CANCER" BY DONATING TONIGHT, AND BY
REDUCING YOUR PERSONAL RISK OF DEVELOPING CANCER EVERY DAY.
IF YOU SMOKE, QUIT.
WATCH YOUR DIET AND GET ACTIVE.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, STAY ON TOP OF YOUR CANCER SCREENINGS.
>> Jeong: "STAND UP TO CANCER," AND OUR SUPPORTER, RALLY HEALTH
WANT TO HELP YOU REDUCE YOUR RISK OF CANCER BY ENCOURAGING
YOU TO GET APPROPRIATE TO SCREENINGS WHICH CAN DETECT
CANCER EARLY AND SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF
BEATING CANCER AND LIVING LONGER.
GO TO THE "STAND UP TO CANCER" WEBSITE TO FIND OUT WHICH
SCREENINGS ARE BEST FOR YOU.
>> Vergara: AT 28 YEARS OLD, DURING A ROUTINE DOCTOR'S VISIT,
MY DOCTOR FELT A LUMP IN MY NECK.
THEY DID A LOT OF TESTS AND FINALLY TOLD ME I HAD THYROID
CANCER.
WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG, AND HEAR THAT WORD "CANCER," YOUR MIND
GOES TO SO MANY PLACES.
BUT I TRIED NOT TO PANIC, AND I DECIDED TO GET EDUCATED.
I READ EVERY BOOK, AND FOUND OUT EVERYTHING I COULD ABOUT IT.
I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE CAUGHT IT EARLY, AND TO HAVE THE
SUPPORT OF MY DOCTORS AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY FAMILY.
I LEARNED A LOT DURING THAT TIME.
NOT JUST ABOUT THYROID CANCER, BUT I ALSO LEARNED THAT
IN TIMES OF CRISIS, WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER.
WE HAVE ALL WITNESSED THE POWER OF COMING TOGETHER JUST
THIS PAST YEAR.
SCIENTISTS AROUND THE GLOBE COLLABORATED IN UNPRECEDENTED
WAYS TO DEVELOP THE COVID-19 VACCINE IN RECORD TIME.
HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS TOOK TO THE STREETS ALL OVER THE WORLD
TO SUPPORT SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUALITY.
AND PEOPLE EVERYWHERE STEPPED UP TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES AND
ENTREPRENEURS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
WE'RE BETTER TOGETHER, AND IF WE ARE GOING TO END CANCER, IT'S
GOING TO REQUIRE A TEAM EFFORT.
>> I'M TREY MANCINI, INFIELDER FOR THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IS ABOUT TEAMWORK, BOTH ON AND OFF THE
FIELD.
AS THE FOUNDING DONOR OF "STAND UP TO CANCER," M.L.B. HAS HELPED
BUILD CANCER AWARENESS THROUGH THE ICONIC PLACARD MOMENT,
P.S.A.s, AND FUNDRAISING EVENTS.
IT'S SO POWERFUL TO SEE EVERYBODY UNIFIED, STANDING UP,
AND SHOWING THEIR SUPPORT.
I'M PROUD TO BE A PART OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NOT JUST
AS A PLAYER, BUT ALSO AS A CANCER SURVIVOR.
MY BATTLE WITH STAGE THREE COLON CANCER WAS THE HARDEST FIGHT OF
MY LIFE LAST YEAR, BUT I'M STANDING HERE TODAY AS LIVING
PROOF THAT CANCER RESEARCH SAVES LIVES.
LET'S MAKE IT MAJOR AND KNOCK CANCER OUT OF THE PARK.
>> Vergara: "STAND UP TO CANCER" IS THRILLED TO TEAM UP WITH
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TO PRESENT BID TO END CANCER, AN
EXTRAORDINARY AUCTION EXPERIENCE POWERED BY OUR FRIENDS AT
HERITAGE AUCTIONS.
GO TO standuptocancer.org/auction TO
LEARN HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN A SERIES OF AUCTIONS FEATURING
EVERYTHING FROM SIGNED GAME-WORN JERSEYS, AUTOGRAPHED
COLLECTIBLES AND THE ONCE-IN-A- LIFETIME CHANCE TO THROW OUT THE
FIRST PITCH AT GAME FOUR OF THIS YEAR'S WORLD SERIES.
NOW, TONIGHT IS NOT JUST ABOUT RAISING MONEY FOR CANCER
RESEARCH AND RAISING CANCER AWARENESS.
IT'S ALSO A CELEBRATION OF SURVIVORS.
AND I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY FRIEND, NICK PIFANI, WHO'S
HERE TO SHARE HIS STORY.
>> I'M NICK PIFANI- HUSBAND, FATHER OF TWO GREAT KIDS, AND A
PANCREATIC CANCER SURVIVOR.
WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH TREATMENT, I PROMISED MYSELF
THAT WHEN I MADE IT THROUGH, I WOULD SHARE MY STORY TO HELP
INSPIRE OTHERS.
I'M GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THAT PROMISE THANKS TO THE
PROGRESS IN CANCER TREATMENT.
I'M ALSO PROUD, AS A MASTERCARD EMPLOYEE, TO STAND UP WITH
MASTERCARD BECAUSE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, THEY'VE BEEN SUPPORTING
THE RESEARCH BEHIND NEW TREATMENTS BY DONATING TO "STAND
UP TO CANCER" ON BEHALF OF THEIR CARDHOLDERS AND EMPLOYEES, LIKE
ME AND IMPACTING CANCER PATIENTS.
THEIR DONATIONS HAVE SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES AND GIVEN CANCER
PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES SOMETHING TRULY PRICELESS: HOPE.
KATIE?
>> THANKS, NICK.
AND WE ARE THRILLED NICK IS DOING SO WELL.
AS YOU ALL KNOW, CANCER HAS AFFECTED SO MANY PEOPLE.
AND LIKE COUNTLESS OTHERS, CANCER HAS AFFECTED ME IN A
DEEPLY PERSONAL WAY.
I LOST MY HUSBAND, JAY, IN 1998, TO COLORECTAL CANCER, AND
WHEN HE WAS JUST 42.
SHE WAS 54.
A FEW YEARS LATER, MY OLDER SISTER, EMILY, DIED OF
PANCREATIC CANCER.
I REALIZED I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.
I JOINED FORCES WITH EIGHT REMARKABLE WOMEN AND WE LAUNCHED
"STAND UP TO CANCER" WITH A MISSION TO MAKE EVERY CANCER
PATIENT A LONG-TERM SURVIVOR, THROUGH THE POWER OF
COLLABORATION BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE LAB.
WHEN BUD SELIG AND LEW WOLFF SAW HOW "STAND UP TO CANCER" BROUGHT
TOGETHER SCIENTISTS AND DOCTORS, THEY DECIDED TO DO THE SAME.
THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE PART OF "STAND UP TO
CANCER'S" LEGACY.
AND SO, THEY FOUNDED THE LEGACY CIRCLE, AND INVITED LIKE-MINDED
INDIVIDUALS TO JOIN THEM AND SUPPORT THE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
RESEARCH OF "STAND UP TO CANCER."
WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE COMMITTED PARTNERS SINCE THE
BEGINNING OF "STAND UP TO CANCER," INCLUDING OUR
SCIENTIFIC PARTNER, THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH.
WITHOUT THEM AND THE SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WE WOULDN'T
BE ABLE TO DO THIS LIFESAVING WORK.
TOGETHER, THEY HAVE HELPED GUIDE OUR MISSION AND DEVELOP OUR
RESEARCH PORTFOLIO.
AND THE WORK WE DO THROUGH "STAND UP TO CANCER" IS INSPIRED
BY ALL THE INCREDIBLE SCIENTISTS, DOCTORS, NURSES,
CAREGIVERS, AND PATIENTS WHO CHAMPION THE FIGHT AGAINST
CANCER.
IT TAKES ALL OF US AND ALL OF YOU.
SO PLEASE DONATE NOW.
>> HEY, EVERYBODY.
I'M IAN HECOX.
>> I'M SHAYNE TOPP.
>> I'M COURTNEY MILLER, AND WE'RE SMOSH!
>> MUCH LIKE MANY OF YOU OUT THERE, WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE
WHO'S BEEN AFFECTED BY CANCER, AND WE WANT TO DO OUR PART TO
KEEP THOSE DONATIONS COMING IN SO WE CAN CHANGE THAT.
SO, WE'RE THROWING AN AWESOME SO WE THOUGHT WE'D THROW A
LITTLE PARTY AND WE'D INVITE YOU GUYS.
YEAH.
THERE'S NO R.S.V.P.
>> AND TIE OPTIONAL, WE JUST HAVE ONE
SIMPLE REQUEST: GIVE!
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE JOINED BY AMAZING GUESTS.
>> WE MADE IT SUPER EASY FOR YOU.
JUST HEAD TO twitch.tv/smoshgames!
>> SO, NO EXCUSES.
WE'LL SEE YOU THERE!
IN THE MEANTIME, BUCKLE UP AND GET READY FOR FUN AND GAMES!
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE AN IMPACT.
WE'LL SEE YOU THERE.
>> Vergara: A DOLLAR HERE, A DOLLAR THERE.
IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH.
BUT ALL THOSE DOLLARS ADD UP.
PLUS, AMERICAN AIRLINES, WITH SUPPORT FROM MASTERCARD, WILL
DOUBLE THE IMPACT OF DONATIONS FOR MILES MADE WITH A
MASTERCARD.
CALL OR GO TO THE "STAND UP TO CANCER" WEBSITE AND JOIN
THE MOVEMENT.
IN TIMES OF CRISIS, WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER.
>> I'M MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY.
NOW, I FIRST GOT INVOLVED WITH "STAND UP TO CANCER" BEFORE
CANCER AFFECTED ME PERSONALLY.
BUT SHORTLY AFTER I DID, DEAR FRIEND AND MENTOR OF MINE,
PENNY, WAS DIAGNOSED.
NOW, AS TOO MANY OF YOU KNOW, NOTHING CAN REALLY PREPARE YOU
FOR THAT NEWS.
ONE: IT'S SCARY.
TWO: IT'S OVERWHELMING.
THE BARRAGE OF INFORMATION, ALL THE NUMBERS, THE VARIABLES, IT'S
A LOT.
I DID WHAT I COULD TO SUPPORT MY FRIEND THE BEST WAY I KNEW
HOW.
I ASKED THE HARD QUESTIONS, I GOT AS EDUCATED AS I COULD, I
LEARNED ABOUT THE NEWEST TREATMENTS.
AND I TRIED TO WALK THAT TIGHT- ROPE QUESTION THAT WE ALL HAVE
OF QUALITY VERSUS QUANTITY OF LIFE.
SADLY, MY FRIEND IS NO LONGER WITH US, BUT I WAS AND STILL AM
FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME THAT WE DID HAVE TOGETHER.
I'M ALSO GRATEFUL THAT THERE'S AN ORGANIZATION LIKE STAND UP TO
CANCER DOING THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO WE CAN STOP LOSING
SO MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO THIS DAMN DISEASE.
SO, IF YOU CAN, PLEASE DONATE.
TOGETHER, THIS KIND OF HEARTACHE, IT CAN END.
JUST KEEP LIVING.
>> THE STORIES WE'VE HEARD TONIGHT FROM DOCTORS, PATIENTS,
SCIENTISTS, AND LOVED ONES ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF THE
TRUE POWER OF THE UNSTOPPABLE HUMAN SPIRIT.
ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US HERE, I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU OUT
THERE FOR DONATING TO SUPPORT LIFE CHANGING AND LIFE SAVING
RESEARCH.
I WANT TO SEND A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF TONIGHT'S
STORYTELLERS, AND I DEDICATE THIS PERFORMANCE TO THEM AND TO
ALL OF THE CANCER PATIENTS AND SURVIVORS WHOSE COURAGE IS AN
INSPIRATION TO US ALL.
