Our mission is to accelerate cures for #kidneycancer. We educate patients about clinical trials, advocate for research funding, and bring researchers together.

"Without KidneyCAN, without advocates going to the hill, sitting in front of politicians and telling their stories -- there would not have been any funding for kidney cancer."
- Dr. @HHammersMD, UTSW

What does hope look like in the face of stage 4 #KidneyCancer?

For Reed and Veronica McLaughlin, it looked like gathering people together, sharing a story, and believing that small actions could make a big difference. Hundreds of people answered the call, helping turn @reed.on.3 into a powerful fundraiser and awareness campaign for kidney cancer research.

Read how one family's determination inspired a community and raised more than $53,000 to accelerate progress against kidney cancer: https://t.co/lrfq5PGWdY

This is the story of a community that refused to sit on the sidelines.

When Veronica and Reed McLaughlin launched Reed on 3!, they hoped to raise awareness and funding for kidney cancer research. What followed was an incredible outpouring of support from friends, family, teammates, coaches, and even complete strangers.

The campaign surpassed its goal and raised more than $53,000 for kidney cancer research.

Encouraging news from Capitol Hill: the FY27 House Defense Appropriations bill includes $15M for the Kidney Cancer Research Program.

But $15M is not enough. Not when we lose 40 lives per day to this disease.

KCRP was funded at $50M in FY24 before being eliminated in FY25. KidneyCAN is on the ground in DC and will keep pushing for full restoration.

Lives are on the line. Research can’t wait.
