At , Cancer Active Executive Director Kenny Capps had the honor of joining a powerful conversation centered on one critical question: What do patients need to feel prepared for the decisions ahead in their care?

As the patient voice on the panel, Kenny brought lived experience, honesty, and perspective to a discussion focused on the road ahead for cancer care, patient advocacy, myeloma, lymphoma, and the evolving research shaping treatment options.

These conversations are critical to the future because progress in cancer care cannot happen through research alone. It must include the voices of the people navigating diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, uncertainty, and everything in between.

Thank you to Anita Gandhi, Mecide Gharibo, Filip Odqvist, Dr. Joseph Mikhael, and the Global Patient Outreach Team for creating space for patient-centered dialogue.

Cancer Active is grateful to be part of conversations that keep the patient voice at the center of what comes next.

Reminder that Lori Fleming of Camp Bluebird of WNC will be joining us NEXT Thursday for the June Support Group!

She will be joining us for a conversation on the importance of focusing on “quality of life” care alongside medical treatment.

Lori serves as Executive Director of Bluebird Programs of the Carolinas and Director of Camp Bluebird, bringing both personal experience and lifelong dedication to the cancer community. Inspired by her brother’s childhood leukemia diagnosis, Lori spent five years as a camper at Camp Kemo before returning as a counselor for 15 years. It was also where she met her husband, Andy, and together they have volunteered with Camp Bluebird for more than a decade.

Now leading the organization, Lori is passionate about creating meaningful, hope-filled experiences for cancer survivors and expanding programs that support the survivor community. She is committed to ensuring Camp Bluebird remains a place where hearts connect, strength grows, and spirits soar.

Outside of camp, Lori enjoys family time, hiking, traveling, and cooking for loved ones.

Kenny Capps is a prime example of walking the walk, not just talking the talk.

Yesterday he was honored with "Emerging Advocate of the Year" by Blood Cancer United, a recognition that reflects the heart, grit, and purpose behind Cancer Active.

His dedication to advocacy, community, technology, and meaningful change is what keeps this mission moving forward. We have a BIG vision for the future of cancer support, and right now, that vision is closer than ever.

But we need our community to move with us.

Here are three ways to help NOW:

- Become a monthly donor
This week only, Givebutter is giving Cancer Active a $10 bonus for every new monthly donor. That means even a $5/month gift goes further.

Monthly donors also receive exclusive benefits, including an invite-only opportunity to become a CAPP beta tester and get a first look at the Cancer Active Patient Portal.

- Register for the Trail Race
This year’s event has shifted, but the mission remains the same.

On Saturday, May 16, we’ll gather for a community hike at Rainbow Trail in Montreat, NC. You can also join virtually from wherever you like to walk, hike, or move.

Every registration helps support CAPP and the future of Cancer Active.

- Share this post
We understand that giving financially is not possible for everyone right now. Sharing this post still matters!

It helps us reach new people, grow the conversation, build this community, and create more seats at the table for those living with cancer.

Kenny’s recognition is a reminder that this work matters. Now is the moment to help carry it forward.
