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.
Last week, in honor of #NIAW (which is every week!!), Chick Mission champion Roshni Kamta hosted the panel ‘Beyond the Binary: A Modern Take on Reproductive Wellness’ at her office, Inc. (@incmagazine)! Over the past 5+ years, Roshni has been a steadfast advocate, sharing her story in front of crowds — from corporate audiences to gala-goers and political figures — to help drive change in oncofertility care.
Last week’s panel highlighted innovations in the field, individualized care, and the myths that we’re still fed today.
Thank you, Roshni, for eloquently leading this - and shoutout to the incredible panelists for lending their expertise:
🐥 Tracy Weiss – Executive Director, The Chick Mission
🌸 Dr. Christy Lane – FLORA (Flora Fertility)
🧠Jennifer Mann, LCSW – Jennifer Mann Therapy
🔬Dr. Aparna (Amy) Divaraniya - Founder / CEO of Oova
This medical Monday, we’re breaking down a key term at the core of our mission’s work: Cryopreservation, a broad term that refers to freezing and storing any kind of cells or tissues (like sperm, embryos and steam cells). 🥶❄️
Egg freezing (also called oocyte cryopreservation) is a specific form of cryopreservation that focuses on preserving a woman’s unfertilized eggs for future use. The goal is to preserve the biological function of these materials so they can be thawed and used later, such as after cancer treatment 💛💪

Her goal is to continue advancing awareness, access, and innovation in fertility preservation for those who need it most! 💪
HB 677 is flying through Florida — Senate passed, Governor’s desk up next. 💪
We’re one huge step closer to protecting fertility preservation access for cancer patients. Let’s finish this!! 💛✨
We rode hard. We rode loud. We rode for something bigger. 🚴♀️🐥✨
This week, in honor of #NationalInfertilityAwarenessWeek, we clipped in with @fertility_ny to sweat it out for access, advocacy, and hope. 💛
Oncofertility gives patients a shot at preserving their future fertility, but access to this care isn’t guaranteed. That’s why we showed up, rode together, and raised our voices (and heart rates) to change the narrative.
Let’s keep pushing. For the fighters. For the survivors. For the future. 🔆✨
Next up in our NIAW series is Dr. Jaime Knopman of @ccrmfertility, our fearless Chief Medical Officer, who has been steadfast in our mission’s growth from the get-go 💛
JK is a force to be reckoned with — on the marathon course, cheering on her girls on the pitch, and of course, when it comes to building families and harnessing hope for future fertility options. Thank you for all that you do, this #NIAW and every week 💪✨
The future looks bright! ✨😎
Up next in our #NIAW series is Anisha Chaudhry, an OB/Gyn resident in NYC. 🩺🏙️
She’s currently in a Gyn-Oncology rotation at Memorial Sloan Kettering, underscoring the role of The Chick Mission in increasing access to oncofertility care. 💪🐥
Kicking off our #NIAW series is Dr. Janet Choi, Chief Medical Officer of Progyny and Medical Advisory Board member at The Chick Mission!

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (@asrm_org) echoed this in a 2021 Ethics Committee opinionopens in a new tab or window, asserting that family-building is a basic human right and that efforts to reduce the economic burdens of treatment should include increasing insurance coverage.
The latter follows the framework of reproductive justiceopens in a new tab or window, highlighting the dual importance of having reproductive rights and having access to reproductive health services to exercise those rights.”

Florida! 🌊🌞🕶️You sure know how to have a good time — while gathering for a good cause, of course! 🌴 This weekend’s The Greet Egg Freeze leaned on the warmer side, but that didn’t deter the crowd from showing up for a daring celebration, raising funds / awareness for the organization’s expanded impact in the Sunshine State 💛
Thank you to the plungers — and supporters — that made this day a success! 💪🌊💛🐣
Chicks on a Mission!! 🛸🚀🐥
Flock member Kerianne Flynn was part of the history-making crew that blasted off this morning — and Executive Board Member Jamie Parrot was there cheering on her friend’s bold adventure 🙌💛✨
This #MedicalMonday, we’re breaking down an essential part of oncofertility: the processes that can help to secure hope for a brighter future, which might include building a family.
Through our Hope Grant Program, we’re helping with a necessary step in the ART process: the harvesting of oocytes 🐣
Florida, we’re making moves! In addition to this weekend’s The Great Egg Freeze, we have some exciting updates. HB 67 is up for discussion in the house next week, which would expand access to oncofertility care to state workers, getting us ONE step closer to our ultimate mission: to not exist! 💪🌞🎉
We had an inspiring week in the Sunshine State, connecting with representatives, underscoring with them the importance of the Bill - and how many Floridians it would be able to assist. 🌴
Form linked in bio to send a note directly to Georgia’s Governor Kemp 📝
It will take less than 15 seconds to tell Governor Kemp that all Georgians deserve the chance to build a family after life-saving treatment. 💛
Hellooo, Sunshine State! 🌞🌴🕶️
The Chick Mission is thrilled to return to Florida for The Great Egg Freeze plunge this Sunday, April 13!! This year, we can make an even bigger splash: we’ve expanded our programs to directly serve cancer patients across the state of Florida - and all funds raised through this event will be matched dollar-for-dollar (up to $50,000) thanks to the generosity of the Webb Family Foundation!
