To yourself and loved ones

  • Eat a healthy, balanced diet.
  • Make the time to get physically active.
  • Wear sunscreen, and, if you smoke: quit.
  • Schedule and go to medical screenings.
  • If you’re eligible, get the HPV vaccination.
  • Learn more about cancer prevention, detection and treatment at cancer.org.

To the rest of the world

  • Register for the Pan Ohio Hope Ride.

One in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Prevention and early detection make a huge impact on the successful treatment of cancer. 

American Cancer Society Hope Lodges, including the Joseph S. and Jeannette M. Silber Hope Lodge in Cleveland, Ohio, provides free accommodations to cancer patients and their caregivers from across the country and around the world who must travel long distances when their best hope is far from home.
