About Us
We set out in 2010 believing in the transformative power of experience and solidarity in the fight against cancer. Since our founding, as the Life Without Cancer Association, we have stood by our patients and their families, touching every area of life: from improving treatment conditions to morale and education support, from awareness projects to in-kind and cash aid. With the responsibility that comes with our public-benefit association status and our #birlikteumutluyuz (together we hope) belief, we continue to work as one big family of solidarity that makes every child, young person and adult across Türkiye feel they are not alone on their journey.
Our Vision: To build a healthy society in which a cancer-free future is made possible, with the awareness that health is a standard of living protected consciously. Through transparency, social cooperation and innovative projects, to be a trusted civil society organisation in the fight against cancer and a pioneer in improving quality of life.
Our Mission: To raise public awareness across Türkiye through early diagnosis and awareness work, and to ensure that patients receiving cancer treatment and their families can access the morale, motivation, education and financial support they need. To stand on the side of life by including every individual in this fight with the spirit of #birlikteumutluyuz.
