This exclusive online community offers people affected by cancer a place to find inspiration, hope and an abundance of support through Tips 4 Life!

What is My Bridge 4 Life?

My Bridge 4 Life™ was developed by its founder Roger Holzberg, current creative director for the National Cancer Institute and former Disney Imagineer. Having created the survivorship program on which My Bridge 4 Life™ is based, he is now over 5 years cancer-free. During the last year, in closed testing with medical concierge and cancer support groups, the My Bridge 4 Life™ team has mentored a broad cross section of patients and supporters through a wide variety of health crises. On his experience of being diagnosed with cancer, Roger says: "There is no way to describe the feeling of sitting across the desk from a physician who says the words 'you have cancer.' Though I valued the advice of my medical professionals, what I really wanted to hear was what had ALREADY worked for people just like me. My Bridge 4 Life™ will help you overcome the overwhelming nature of a life threatening diagnosis of any kind by dividing it into phases. It will show you how to gather and leverage the strength of your community (including your medical professionals), set goals for each phase, and build a wellness plan for life in the process. No one should have to face a major health crisis alone."

ta-tas, since its inception in 2004, has quickly evolved into a tour de force in the fashion industry, along with earning a well-deserved and admirable reputation as a serious fundraiser for breast cancer research. ta-tas donates 5% of each sale to three causes: The Revlon Run/Walk (dedicated to building community support), the Breast Cancer Research Fund (dedicated to finding a cure in our lifetime), and our very own weSPARK. Julia Fiske, founder of the unique apparel company ta-tas created this sassy, playful line of t-shirts and accessories emblazoned with messages like "Save the ta-tas" and "ta-tas Unite". Each features the signature breast cancer awareness ribbon. We want to thank ta-tas and Julia for all their support and welcome them to our family!
