SHARE Cancer Support is a national nonprofit organization providing free, peer-led emotional support, education, and navigation services for people impacted by breast, metastatic breast, ovarian, uterine, and gynecologic cancers. Through helplines, support groups, educational programs, and culturally responsive outreach, SHARE connects individuals with trained peers who understand the cancer experience firsthand and helps reduce isolation while empowering patients to make informed decisions about their care.

The AYA breast cancer support group is co-facilitated by our very own co-founder Julia and her first two breast cancer friends El and Alex!
