RSVP here: act.fightcancer.org/a/2026-suits-s…

Join us for an exciting day of advocacy in Columbia at the State House on Wednesday, March 4. Lace up your sneakers and let's fight cancer together!

Big Tobacco is absolutely pushing the vape registry bill moving in the SC House @SCHouseGOP @SCHouseDems It will do nothing to prevent youth from starting tobacco or help adults quit. We have to stop believing the lies from Big Tobacco if we sincerely want to protect children.

@bethbernsteinsc We are concerned about the 300,000 or so South Carolinians who are without healthcare coverage bc our state hasn’t expanded Medicaid. Most of whom are in the work force and providing services to our communities.

🚀 As the legislative session kicks off today, let's talk about what really matters! 💬 Are you concerned about healthcare, education, or something else? Drop a comment and let’s start the conversation! #VoiceYourOpinion #Legislation #TogetherWeCan

We gathered cancer advocates nationwide to share their hope for the future of cancer cures. These hopes can become reality through #CancerResearch. ➡️ Send a message urging members of Congress to prioritize lifesaving cancer research in the spending bill: act.fightcancer.org/a/four-cities-…

Every breakthrough in cancer treatment and prevention has started with federal funding. We can't jeopardize progress and undermine decades of momentum. @LindseyGrahamSC , we're urging you to #ProtectCancerCures in the full-year spending bill.

@SenatorTimScott , cancer patients, survivors, and families need you to #ProtectCancerCures. Can they count on you to support funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention programs in the full-year spending bill?

@RKirbySC … we found your tag! Thank you too sir!!

It was a beautiful morning at The Ann Riley Pink Tea. @syllestedavis @henrymcmaster Access to Care is crucial to our state.

Breaking: #MCEDAct just passed @WaysandMeansGOP @WaysMeansCmte unanimously! Thank you to Chairman @RepJasonSmith and Ranking Member @RepRichardNeal for your support, and to @RepArrington and @RepTeriSewell for introducing this critical legislation. #CancerLobbyDay (1/2)

Dr Jim Weeks, a breast cancer survivor from Spartanburg was honored in DC this week. @RepTimmons we are counting on you to support the MCED bill to detect cancer early!

Thank you Senator @LindseyGrahamSC and staff for meeting with our team today about the importance of cancer research funding and the health tax credits. #CancerLobbyDay

The team is ready for @ACSCAN #CancerActionDay

Thank you to Ian for sharing your story and perspective on cancer research funding during today’s panel discussion. #CancerLobbyDay

Thank you @SenatorTimScott for signing a July 24 14 member letter to @WHOMB asking for proper disbursement of appropriated FY25 @NIH research funds. This funding is crucial in the fight against cancer nationwide. We hope we can count on you to #ProtectCancerCures in FY26, too.

@syllestedavis Thank you and know our team is ready to offer support!

I filed a bipartisan bill to help women with the cost of followup testing should there be concerns with the results of the initial breast cancer screening. This bill will be up for debate next session. #WomensHealth scdailygazette.com/2025/07/11/cos…

1/3 The House passed a bill cutting Medicaid funding by an est. $715 billion. If approved by the Senate, these cuts will raise health care costs, negatively impact state budgets & deny affordable health care to at least 8.6M people, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The House is expected to vote this week on a bill that would cut #Medicaid by $715 billion & kick 8.6 million people off their insurance. Send a message to your Rep. & urge them to vote NO. #CutsHaveConsequences for cancer patients, children & more. act.fightcancer.org/a/they-vote-te…

Yesterday @HouseCommerce and @EnergyCommerce passed a bill that would make devastating cuts to #Medicaid. @RussellFrySC we are disappointed in your vote. Please stand up to #ProtectMedicaid for South Carolinians and cancer patients when this bill comes to the floor.
