Breakaway from Cancer®

Amgen’s generous support of the Breakaway from Cancer® initiative makes it possible for NCCS to do the following:

  • Bring together cancer survivors and caregivers in NCCS’s online Cancerversary community
  • Develop, produce and distribute resources that educate cancer survivors about cancer care planning
  • Increase distribution of the Cancer Survival Toolbox®, including outreach to hard-to-reach populations
  • Update and revise NCCS’s free publications that address issues ranging from navigating health insurance to maintaining hope throughout a cancer experience


As part of this year's Amgen Tour of California, four Breakaway from Cancer® non-profit partners, including NCCS, traveled to 16 cities during eight stages of the race, walked with hundreds of cancer survivors and caregivers as part of four Breakaway Mile marches, distributed valuable resources, information and giveaways at the Breakaway from Cancer booth that empower and support 12 million cancer survivors and their families and caregivers.
