When we’re making decisions about our communities—whether it’s legislation, policy, funding, development, education, healthcare, or the environment—we should ask a few simple questions:
Will it help prevent disease?
Will it improve access to care?
Will it detect problems earlier and save lives?
Will it protect our communities and environment?
Will it reduce costs over time?
We know more about preventing disease than at any point in history.
The question isn’t whether prevention works.
The question is whether we’ll continue to invest in it.
Take a look at the scorecard. Then call your Senators or Representative and ask them to put prevention on the agenda.

We are turning the clock back on prevention.
For decades, investments in research, public health, cleaner air and water, to***co prevention, cancer screening, and access to care helped Americans live longer and healthier lives.
The risks are not a mystery.
We know to***co causes cancer. We know toxic chemicals and PFAS can threaten health. We know that prevention, early detection, and access to care save lives. We know that cancer research works.
Yet many of the protections and investments that helped improve health are being weakened, reduced, or questioned.
When prevention is weakened, the consequences are predictable: more disease, more suffering, more preventable deaths, and higher costs for families and communities.
Ending or reducing healthcare coverage for millions of Americans does not improve health. It delays care, increases costs, and puts lives at risk.
Cancer does not care about politics.
If you're concerned, call Congress at (202) 224-3121. If you don't know who represents you, tell the Capitol operator where you live and ask to be connected. If you can't get through, leave a message.
Tell them:
• Prevention matters.
• Cancer research matters.
• Science matters.
• Clean air and clean water matter.
• Protection from toxic chemicals matters.
• To***co prevention matters.
• Access to care matters.
Public health should be guided by evidence, not ideology.
Prevention saves lives. Science saves lives. Research saves lives.

I'm in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, standing outside what was once Gene's Party Store. Today it's Jerry's, but nearly 60 years ago it was Gene's, and one of the first places I ever rode my bike to on my own.
That ride felt like a huge adventure then. In many ways, it still does.
As I think about that memory, I'm reminded why we created Hike & Bike America. It's not about distance or speed. It's about getting outside, moving, connecting, and supporting healthier communities.
Do me a favor. Visit LessCancer.org and sign up for Hike & Bike America. Ride, hike, walk, roll, or create your own adventure. Then share a photo and tag Less Cancer so we can see where your journey takes you.
It doesn't have to be a big deal. Simply signing on with Less Cancer shows that you support prevention, education, and healthier communities.
Join us. We'd love to see where your adventure begins.

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day.
I’ve always had mixed feelings about the word “survivor.” Every cancer journey is different, and not everyone living with cancer experiences it the same way.
For me, today is a reminder that cancer is never just one person’s journey. It affects families, friends, neighbors, and entire communities.
It is also a reminder to stay connected, check in on one another, and support people where they are. Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is let someone know they are seen, valued, and not alone.

We often think of health in terms of doctors, hospitals, medicine, and research. Those things matter. But community matters too.
When people feel valued, connected, and seen, they are more likely to thrive. They are more likely to seek help when they need it, support others, and notice when something isn't right.
This post is a reflection on the power of community, the importance of showing up for one another, and why healthier communities help create healthier people.
Sometimes prevention starts with a conversation. Sometimes it starts with simply letting someone know they matter.
