Inclusion is not a recommendation or a finding that this group is right for your situation. KRAS Kickers is a patient-led nonprofit for people with a KRAS mutation in any cancer, including lung, pancreatic and colon, and the people who care for them. It was founded by Terri Conneran, a lung cancer patient with KRAS G12D. Its focus is turning KRAS research into plain language so you understand what your specific variant (G12C, G12D, G12V and others) might mean. ## What they offer - A private Facebook group where moderators answer questions and point you to resources. - Online support group meetups on Zoom for patients and care partners. - One-to-one peer mentors, with more countries and languages covered through a partnership with Imerman Angels. - Webinars and interviews with KRAS doctors and researchers, plus recordings on YouTube. - Research and clinical trial updates by email. ## How to join and what it costs You join through the KRAS Kickers website: sign up for the email list, request to join the Facebook group, or ask for a peer mentor. I didn't see any fee for these (checked October 2026). Zoom meetups need an RSVP to get the link. ## How it fits with other groups here KRAS Kickers is biomarker-specific, like [ALK Positive](/companies/alk-positive/), [EGFR Resisters](/companies/egfr-resisters/), [The ROS1ders](/companies/the-ros1ders/), [MET Crusaders](/companies/met-crusaders/) and the [Exon 20 Group](/companies/exon-20-group/). For broader lung cancer support, see [LUNGevity](/companies/lungevity/) and [GO2 for Lung Cancer](/companies/go2-for-lung-cancer/). My [find support](/resources/find-support/) guide covers how to choose. ## Questions I would ask - What does my specific KRAS variant mean for my options? - Can you match me with a peer mentor who has my cancer type? - When is the next Zoom meetup? - Where can I watch past expert webinars? ## Contacts - Website: [kraskickers.org](https://www.kraskickers.org/) - Join the community: [kraskickers.org/krascancercommunity](https://www.kraskickers.org/krascancercommunity) - Peer mentor: [kraskickers.org/kraskickerpeer](https://www.kraskickers.org/kraskickerpeer) - Call or text: 1-505-CAN-KRAS ## Limits and context Program details are reported by the group unless noted, as of October 2026.
