As a leading support community for men impacted by cancer in North America, we offer peer-to-peer support, an annual retreat, chemo backpack program, learning opportunities, and more than 50 local chapters geared toward improving the quality of life of our members.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When faced with cancer, women tend to &amp;ldquo;reach out,&amp;rdquo; and men tend to &amp;ldquo;check out.&amp;rdquo; This leads men down the path toward mental health problems, strained relationships, and poor medical outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s time for a new path. We are changing what it means to &amp;ldquo;Man Up.&amp;rdquo; It&amp;rsquo;s not just about being tough. It means having the courage to accept help, and knowing we are smarter and stronger as a pack than we are as lone wolves.&lt;/p&gt;</Biography>
