Amgen Tribute Video 2017

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.
