I'm supporting the American Cancer Society and you can, too!


Why I Wear Pink
 

I'm no stranger to the fight against cancer.  I was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1999 and after five surgeries and 10 weeks of chemotherapy, I am able to say that I have been cancer-free for 25 years.  I know first-hand what it is like to sit in a doctor's office receiving the diagnosis.  I know how difficult that moment is and how alone you may feel.  

 

Breast cancer affects everyone - it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman.  A scary fact is that 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.  That's why I'm stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have. Many of my friends and colleagues that have fallen victim to breast cancer.  My sister, Lisa Brigham Anderson, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002 and was recently (August 9, 2024) diagnosed with cancer again.  I am helping fight breast cancer in her name and in the name of so many of my Genuine Parts Company colleagues that have had to fight this terrible disease.

 

Over 310,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024.  The death rate from breast cancer dropped by 42% from 1989 to 2021 and there are more than 4 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. today thanks to medical research, innovations and treatment funded by organizations like the American Cancer Society.  Every dollar counts in the fight against cancer so please consider sponsoring my Men Wear Pink campaign.

 

Why I Support the American Cancer Society

 

Every day, the American Cancer Society is saving more lives from breast cancer than ever before. They're helping people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early, when it's easier to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it. They fund groundbreaking breast cancer research and they're working to ensure access to mammograms for women who need them.

Your support allows the American Cancer Society to continue:

Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.  

Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
