ASCEND, which stands for Anne Scandalios Cancer Ends Now Directive, was formed in 2001 as the result of Anne Scandalios’ battle against breast cancer. Although Anne lost her battle with cancer, the ASCEND Foundation through Anne’s spirit continues her mission to make ending cancer a national priority. ASCEND focuses its efforts on connecting those touched by cancer and empowering them to make a difference by speaking up against cancer.
