Our mission is to ensure every young woman newly diagnosed with cancer has the option to preserve fertility through direct financial support, educational programs, and advocacy efforts.
We refuse to let the emotional, physical, and financial cost of a cancer diagnosis stand between young women and a full life after beating this disease.

After her *third* cancer diagnosis before age 40, our founder Amanda Rice channeled her frustration with reproductive health into a nonprofit.
A recent article in the @nytimes (linked in bio) covers the findings of a new study: more young adults are getting diagnosed with breast cancer — and yet, more are also surviving the disease.
It is estimated that around 310,720 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in U.S. women this year, including 13,180 cases in women under 40 and 37,650 in women in their 40s.
The majority of these YA diagnosed will go on to live full lives after their disease. And for many, this can include the dreams of starting or growing their family. Oncofertility care: the conversations about it, access to it, and advancements being made in the field have never been more important.
Join us in advancing this access through becoming a part of our flock, signing up for our newsletter The Chirp (via chickmission.org), and sharing these findings with others. 🐥💪💛
Bubbles and Bad Behavior: Bay Area Edition! 🫧🥂
Last week, the West Coast flock showed up in full force as we cheers to the advancements made in oncofertility access and care — and raised crucial funds for our Hope Grant Program: providing newly diagnosed cancer patients with financial assistance to cover the cost of egg freezing. Since having cancer isn’t a choice, but having kids should be. 💪🐥
