The Metastatic Cancer Initiative, founded by Arnan Gao, Kaylee Tedjo, and Claireese Tedjo, is dedicated to increasing awareness, support, and funding for metastatic cancer research. Its mission is to bridge gaps in knowledge and resources by creating a global network of ambassadors and fundraising campaigns, all aimed at supporting individuals and communities affected by metastatic cancer.

The initiative collaborates with local hospitals, cancer funds, and research teams to drive advancements in treatment and find potential cures, with a specific emphasis on fostering partnerships that can directly benefit those impacted by metastatic cancer. It also amplifies voices through a blog that shares personal stories of patients, caregivers, and advocates. By expanding outreach through events, ambassadors, and social media, the initiative seeks to foster community solidarity, inspire hope, and make a measurable difference in the lives of those affected by this disease.
