Learn more about us

At the American Cancer Society, we’re working to create a world with more birthdays – where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life. And as we save lives from cancer, what we are really doing is giving people more of their most precious resource: time. More time with their families and friends, more memories, more celebrations … and more birthdays.

We combine our relentless passion with the wisdom of nearly a century of experience to make this vision a reality, and we get results. We save lives by helping you stay well, helping you get well, by finding cures, and fighting back. Thanks to this work, 11 million cancer survivors and countless others who have avoided the disease will celebrate a birthday this year. Learn more about ACS, what we do, and our plans for the future by watching the videos on this website.

We know that you hear about cancer on the news almost every day, and a new study on it comes out about as often as you change your clothes—so why do we have another new website about it? Because it's not about us, it's about you. Your stories. Your experiences. Your hope.

We want to learn from you – how has cancer affected your life, what has cancer taught you? What gives you hope?

SharingHope.tv is a place for people who are passionate about the fight against cancer and who enjoy digital content. It's a high-quality platform for anyone to upload, view, share, and experience everything from short clips to full-length films. SharingHope.tv will allow people to share their experience with cancer via a visual format.

We believe that digital media offers a way to capture, connect, and engage cancer patients, survivors, pre-vivors and caregivers. Digital technology has made the creation of content easier, cheaper, and faster than ever before; anyone can become a filmmaker, and thanks to the Internet, anyone can share their content with the world.

People can utilize SharingHope.tv to do more than just distribute their work. We want to offer a platform that, ultimately, helps match the right audience to the right content, that lets constituents build and interact with communities of people, thereby deepening and transforming the content itself.

Thanks for visiting SharingHope.tv. It's stories like yours that provide comfort, courage, and most importantly, hope to others whose lives have been touched by cancer.
