Thank You for 25 Years of Livestrong
Written By: Greg Lee, President, CEO, and 3X Cancer Survivor
On January 9, 1997, Livestrong began operations to provide hope, inspiration, and solutions to help anyone affected by cancer.
No one expected this would ignite a global movement, mobilizing more than 93 million people around the world. Together, we pioneered the field of survivorship, tackled the stigma, served 9.4+ million people, and saved $90+ million in healthcare-related costs for families.
Read on to learn how you inspired our vision for the next chapter…
I. The Future of Cancer Care.
We remain committed to actively and aggressively investing in disruptive, person-centered solutions.

You define our focus through initiatives like the Innovation Conversation Series (Icon).
You shape our funding priorities through Livestrong Solution Grants.
You inspire the revolutionary work of the Livestrong Cancer Institutes, where we have served more than 1,050 patients in 7 major cancer focus areas and 58 sub-specialty areas to date. But that’s just the start…
