Today is National Cancer Survivors Day®.
From the NCSD website: National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual, treasured Celebration of Life that is held in hundreds of communities nationwide and around the world. It is a CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of SUPPORT for families, and an OUTREACH to the community. Participants unite in a symbolic event to show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be meaningful, productive, and even inspiring.
I am very, very fortunate. I’ve told my story before. I’ve walked to raise money for cancer research and treatment.
Cancer sucks. I’m one of the lucky ones. So today is a day to celebrate.
But, I’ve lost far too many family members and friends to cancer. That’s why I take every chance I get to raise awareness.
Do a self exam (that’s men and women). Get a check up.
