The Disparities Are Real
Higher Mortality Rates
BIPOC communities experience disproportionately higher cancer mortality rates across many cancer types.
Limited Representation
Less than 5% of cancer research participants are from BIPOC communities, leaving their experiences invisible.
Financial Toxicity
Cancer treatment costs force survivors to choose between care and basic living expenses like rent and food.
Cultural Barriers
Language, trust, and cultural differences create obstacles to accessing quality cancer care and support.
Behind Every Statistic Is a Survivor
When I was diagnosed, I didn't know how I would pay my rent and get treatment.
The support I received reminded me I wasn't fighting alone.
