Today, cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. It's personal for the Vice President — and for nearly every American and millions of people around the world who personally, or through a family or friend, are affected by it.

The Vice President is leading a Cancer Moonshot Initiative to seize this moment and accelerate our efforts towards a cure. That means aiming to turn this deadly disease into a manageable chronic condition — and to unleash new discoveries and breakthroughs for other deadly diseases.

If this is personal for you — if your life or the life of someone you know has been touched by cancer, share your story with the Vice President here.
