SilvaStrong is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness for kidney cancer through their partnership with the Kidney Cancer Association. Founded by kidney cancer survivor, John Silva, the organization aims to provide support, education, and resources to those affected by this often overlooked form of cancer.
Kidney cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the kidneys, which are vital organs responsible for filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood to form urine. According to the American Cancer Society, kidney cancer is among the top 10 most common cancers in both men and women, with an estimated 76,080 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2022 alone.
SilvaStrong works closely with the Kidney Cancer Association to raise awareness about the risk factors, symptoms, and treatment options for kidney cancer. Through various outreach programs, educational events, and fundraising initiatives, SilvaStrong aims to empower patients and their families with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate their cancer journey.
One of the key initiatives of SilvaStrong is their annual Kidney Cancer Awareness Month campaign, which takes place every March. During this month-long campaign, SilvaStrong partners with local hospitals, healthcare providers, and community organizations to host educational events, fundraisers, and support groups for kidney cancer patients and survivors.
In addition to raising awareness, SilvaStrong also provides financial assistance to kidney cancer patients in need through their Patient Assistance Program. This program helps cover the cost of medical bills, prescription medications, transportation to and from treatment centers, and other expenses related to the diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancer.
Through their partnership with the Kidney Cancer Association, SilvaStrong is able to amplify their impact and reach a larger audience of individuals affected by kidney cancer. Together, they work tirelessly to advocate for increased funding for kidney cancer research, improved access to quality care for patients, and greater awareness of this often misunderstood disease.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with kidney cancer, consider reaching out to SilvaStrong and the Kidney Cancer Association for support and resources. By joining forces with these organizations, you can become part of a community dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and ultimately finding a cure for kidney cancer.
