Be Part of the Story

Kirsten’s story is just one of the 90,000 new stories each year…what’s yours? By sharing lived stories and lessons learned we can reduce the stigma of cancer, help others feel less alone in their struggles, and improve their experience. We invite AYA patients, survivors, supporters, health care providers, caregivers, parents, and siblings to be an inspirational voice in the ears of our walkers. Please submit an audio or video message to current and future cancer supporters. We’ve made it simple by talking points for survivors and supporters. Submit your by March 26th.
