At Amgen, we believe in innovation. We use cutting-edge science and technology to search for therapies that will help us lead the race to dramatically improve patients’ lives.

Amgen returns as the title sponsor for the 12th consecutive year, continuing to leverage the race to raise awareness of the important resources available to people affected by cancer and cardiovascular disease through two national campaigns. The Breakaway from Cancer® initiative, founded in 2005, aims to increase awareness of important resources available to people affected by cancer – from prevention through survivorship. Breakaway from Cancer is a collaboration between Amgen and four independent, nonprofit partner organizations: Prevent Cancer Foundation, Cancer Support Community, Patient Advocate Foundation, and National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship. These organizations offer a broad range of support services complementing those provided by a patient's team of healthcare professionals. For more information, please visit http://www.breakawayfromcancer.com. Breakaway from Heart Disease™ encourages Americans to take charge of their risk of heart disease and represents a partnership between Amgen and the American Heart Association. The initiative is dedicated to empowering everyone to take action for good heart health as well as providing information and tools related to physical activity and healthy eating. Amgen also has a partnership with the bike company Schwinn to encourage heart-healthy activities like bike riding.

At Jazz Pharmaceuticals, we’re patient-focused, science-driven and energized as we work toward our ultimate goal: to innovate and transform the lives of patients and their families.

Collaboration is necessary to ensure patients have access to the treatments they need. That’s why we partner with organizations like Project HOPE in Egypt. For more than thirty years, the Sanofi Genzyme Humanitarian Program work has helped those like Amr, who lives with Gaucher disease, get access to the care they need. +++ This video was produced for Sanofi by BBC StoryWorks, the commercial content division of BBC Global News, as part of the ICBC “Nature’s Building Blocks” project.
