About this Event
Untold Cancer Stories Live is a series of events hosted by Black Women Rising and supported by Gilead Sciences, to tell the untold stories around cancer in women of colour.
Each event is a free, informal panel discussion, Q&A and networking event, where we will hear from those with lived and professional experience of cancer.
Untold Cancer Stories Live will address and raise awareness around challenges, support and the overall experience of women of colour with various cancers, so we can all be better informed and equipped. They will serve as informal spaces where cancer patients, medical professionals and others can come together to discuss openly.
Untold Cancer Stories Live: Rare Cancers is the fourth event in the series. We will hear from women of colour with both lived and professional experience of rare cancers, including a representative from CANCER52.
The discussion will aim to shine a light on the experiences of women of colour with rare cancers and equip you with advice, awareness and information to empower you, whether you have a diagnosis yourself or not.

About Black Women Rising
Black Women Rising is the award winning programme from UK registered charity The Leanne Pero Foundation. We support women of colour through every step of their cancer diagnosis and support efforts to educate, raise awareness, and influence policy that aims to provide equitable and accessible cancer care for women of colour in the UK.
Despite advances in cancer care, women of colour continue to face significant disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Together, we must keep raising awareness and pushing for much-needed change.
Events such as Untold Stories are a way for us to get together, inform ourselves, meet others and better support women of colour on their cancer journeys.
About Gilead Sciences
At Gilead, we are relentlessly committed to advancing transformative therapies for the most serious diseases, delivering an exponentially positive impact on health.
For more than three decades, we have combined scientific rigor with a deep sense of purpose to improve health outcomes and reimagine care. Our work spans more than 35 countries with a focus on three therapeutic areas: virology, oncology, and inflammation, where unmet medical needs remain greatest.
Importantly, our focus extends beyond medicine — because innovation means little if it does not reach those who need it most. Through partnerships, licensing programs, and local collaborations, we expand access to life-saving medicines across the globe.
From individual patients to whole populations, we’re committed to delivering healthier futures for people and communities worldwide.
About Cancer52
Cancer52 is an alliance of over 100 cancer charities working to address this inequality and improve outcomes for rare and less common cancer patients. In the UK, 47% of cancer diagnosis are of rare and less common cancers (all cancers except breast, bowel, lung or prostate) yet these cancers account for 55% of cancer deaths. In spite of this disparity, these cancers often remain under represented and under funded across policy, services and research.
