Move For Sam

Until she was seven years old, Sam’s childhood was carefree and secure. But when her mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and died two years later, Sam lost trust in her world.Just as Sam started to find solid ground in her mid-20s, cancer threw her into the abyss again. This time it was her own diagnosis: stage 4 colon cancer.

As Sam listened to an oncologist and a surgeon arguing over the best course of treatment for her, it really hit home.“They didn’t have treatments that were going to cure me.” – Sam.

Sam’s doctors can’t give her certainty, and unfortunately this is the case for thousands of others impacted by cancer.

Each year, ACRF grows more determined to find these answers. By fueling research breakthroughs, we can ensure our loved ones have options for lifesaving treatment.

Show your support for Sam, by moving every day in May and helping to raise essential funds for lifesaving cancer research.
