It’s something

“It’s cancer - we’re all the same team.” This sentiment was shared with TCA team members Betty and Catherine on a call with community hospital staff this month. It’s a great reminder that, while collaboration isn’t always easy in the competitive healthcare landscape, in Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer care, it’s the norm.

You are not your diagnosis. It can be difficult to break this narrative. Cancer survivors are some of the most amazing people in the world. And they are much, much more than someone who has or has had cancer.

A huge shoutout to our incredible Ambassador Thomas Lennon for representing Teen Cancer America on FOX’s Celebrity Name That Tune!

Thomas brought the laughs against D’Arcy Carden. The show also surprised us with a $10,000 donation to support young people facing cancer!

Thank you Thomas for always championing our cause, and thank you Name That Tune on Fox for your generous support!

If you missed it, don’t worry you can still catch Thomas’s episode “Comedy Clash” (Season 6, Episode 4) available now on Hulu.

We love you Tom!
