Thank you to everyone who joined KidneyCAN on Capitol Hill, shared their story, participated in meetings, and helped make the voice of the #KidneyCancer community heard! We are so grateful to have you alongside us.

The work isn't over yet—virtual Advocacy Day kicks off tomorrow!

#AcceleratingCures

The numbers tell an important story.

Every #KidneyCancer diagnosis represents a patient, a family, and a community impacted by this disease. Understanding the scope of kidney cancer helps show why continued progress in research, treatment, and patient support matters. 🧡

#AcceleratingCures

What are we talking about on Capitol Hill today?

We're asking Congress to support three priorities. Behind every ask are patients waiting for more options, researchers pursuing the next discovery, & families hoping for more time. Today, we're making sure their voices are heard.

#AcceleratingCures

Advocacy in action! 🧡

Every conversation is an opportunity to make sure the #KidneyCancer community has a voice in Washington.

#AcceleratingCures

Dr. Michael Serzan explains why robust, sustained funding is essential to maintaining the research infrastructure that makes scientific progress possible, and what can be lost when that support isn't there.

#AcceleratingCures

Advocates are gathering in Washington, DC, this morning before heading to Capitol Hill to speak directly with members of Congress and their staff about the needs of the #KidneyCancer community.

Follow along today and tomorrow as we take that message to Capitol Hill.

#AcceleratingCures
