FRANKLIN, TN, USA, May 25, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — On Sunday, June 4, 2023, people around the world will unite to recognize cancer survivors, and to raise awareness of the challenges of cancer survivorship, as part of the 36th annual National Cancer Survivors Day® Celebration of Life.
National Cancer Survivors Day® is a worldwide Celebration of Life held annually on the first Sunday in June. On this day, people in hundreds of cities across the U.S. and abroad will join in solidarity with cancer survivors to raise awareness of the ongoing challenges these cancer survivors face because of their disease and to celebrate life.
According to the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation, administrator for the celebration, “A ‘survivor’ is anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life.”
On National Cancer Survivors Day®, cancer survivors will share stories of how surviving cancer has affected their lives. And communities will come together to stand with these survivors and make a commitment to help lessen the burdens a cancer diagnosis brings.
The NCSD Foundation wants to send the message that surviving cancer is not the end of the story. All cancer survivors deserve a good quality of life, for the whole of their lives. Help raise awareness for cancer survivors by sharing a post like this one to your social media pages on Sunday, June 4:
Surviving cancer is something to celebrate, but it’s not the end of the story. Cancer changes your health and your life forever. Today, on National Cancer Survivors Day, let’s #CelebrateLife and raise awareness of the challenges of cancer survivorship. #NCSD2023
