"Cancer affects us all," Paltrow, who lost her father, Bruce Paltrow, to oral cancer in 2002, says in a statement, “and each and every person can help the scientists who are working 24/7 to save more lives. We want to get that message out in as many ways as possible, so we’re excited to use social media to reach supporters from all over who are helping to grow the Stand Up To Cancer movement, and hopefully, get even more people to stand up with us.”
