Ohio State Lead Ambassador

Vince Marchetta

"Losing my wife, Betsy, to metastatic cervical cancer was devastating to my kids and me." After the fog of grief started to lift, Vince developed a passion to join the fight against cancer and joined ACS CAN. For the last 5 years he has served as an advocate and ACT Lead in the Akron, Ohio area (Congressional District 13), and will now lead our statewide team as the State Lead Ambassador for 2025-2026.

Why is being an ACS CAN volunteer important to you?

ACS CAN is an incredible way for me to honor my wife, Betsy, who we lost to cancer in 2019. By telling her story and being her voice, I, along with all the incredibly dedicated Ohio volunteers, can truly make a difference in the fight against cancer.

Why should others in your community get involved in ACS CAN?

Cancer affects us all. By joining the cause, each person plays a huge role in making a difference. Whether it is your story, your time, or your support, all participation is invaluable, appreciated and impactful. As Steve Jobs said, "the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
