NATIONAL CANCER SURVIVORS DAY

Sunday, June 7 will mark the 22nd National Cancer Survivors Day, an “annual, worldwide Celebration of Life held in hundreds of communities throughout the United States, Canada, and other participating countries“ as defined by the not-for-profit National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation (NCSD). Survivors come together as a symbol and dedication of defeating cancer.

The American Cancer Society will also join in honoring cancer survivors with celebrations to include parades, carnivals, races, art exhibits, ball games, contests, dances, inspirational programs and more.

Who is a cancer survivor? The NCSD defines a "survivor as any person with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life.”

Celebrate with someone who overcame the cancer odds...and offer a prayer for those who are battling with it today! Make a contribution to the American Cancer Society in your area today!

Together, we can make a difference.
