Our Mission

Ribbn is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built to bring more connection, understanding, and community to people facing cancer. We believe no one should have to navigate diagnosis, treatment, or survivorship without people who truly understand their experience. Our mission is to build a supportive social platform where real stories, shared journeys, and meaningful relationships help people feel more connected and more supported every day.

Ribbn began when my girlfriend was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 20 years old. She searched everywhere for someone her age who understood what she was going through — and found almost nothing. Watching her face treatment without peers who shared her experience made it clear that something was missing.

— Rowan Zeszut, Founder of Ribbn
