National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual treasured Celebration of Life that is held in hundreds of communities nationwide, and around the world, on the first Sunday in June.
It is a celebration for those who have survived and an inspiration for those recently diagnosed.
It is a gathering of support for families and an outreach to the community.
On National Cancer Survivors Day, people around the world will unite to recognize cancer survivors and raise awareness of the ongoing challenges cancer survivors face and most importantly, celebrate life.
It is a day for everyone whether you are a cancer survivor, a family member, friend, or medical professional.
This day provides an opportunity for all people living with a history of cancer and to connect with each other, to celebrate milestones and recognize those who have supported them along the way.
It is also a day to draw attention to the ongoing challenges of cancer survivorship in order to promote more resources, research and survivor-friendly legislation to improve cancer survivors’ quality of life.
