This Sunday, June 5 is the annual National Cancer Survivor Day, and BioMat.com invites you to join us in celebration and acknowledgement of this very important day.
National Cancer Survivors Day is a celebration of life that's usually held on the first Sunday in June. People all across the United States, Canada and other participating countries unite on this day to show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can still be full of hope and meaning.
The National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation, a registered non-profit organization, supports a number of healthcare institutions, including hospitals and support groups, in holding a range of community events on National Cancer Survivors Day.
If you or someone you care about is living with or beyond cancer, or if you just want to show your support, contact your local cancer treatment center, hospital or your local Cancer Society. They will be able to connect you to events planned for your area.
A "cancer survivor" is defined as anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. National Cancer Survivors Day allows cancer survivors to demonstrate that they are an active, productive part of their community.
While National Cancer Survivor Day exists to celebrate the courage and accomplishments of cancer survivors, it is also a day to raise awareness of the challenges they face after diagnosis, including lack of access to effective treatments, inadequate insurance, financial hardships, employment problems, and emotional and psychological issues.
BioMat.com is proud to support health-related charities by donating BioMats for use and to raise money. For more information about National Cancer Survivors Day, please visit www.ncsdf.org.
