Cancer Survivors, Local Communities to Celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day® on Sunday, June 2, 2019

In the News…
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Cancer Survivors, Local Communities to Celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day® on Sunday, June 2, 2019.

With more than 15.5 million people living with and beyond cancer in the U.S. today – and more than 32 million cancer survivors worldwide – everyone knows someone whose life has been touched by cancer. On Sunday, June 2, 2019, communities around the world will unite to recognize these cancer survivors, and to raise awareness of the challenges of cancer survivorship, as part of the 32ndannual National Cancer Survivors Day® Celebration of Life.

National Cancer Survivors Day® is an annual worldwide Celebration of Life that is held on the first Sunday in June. Hundreds of cities across the U.S. and abroad will hold celebrations on this day to acknowledge the cancer survivors in their community, to raise awareness of the ongoing challenges cancer survivors face because of their disease, and – most importantly – 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.”

“When people hear the word ‘cancer,’ it can be very frightening,” says Foundation spokesperson, Laura Shipp. “But there is hope. Cancer mortality rates are steadily declining, and cancer survivors are living longer than ever before. National Cancer Survivors Day® is an opportunity for these cancer survivors – and those who support them – to come together and celebrate the tremendous progress being made in the fight against cancer. It’s a day to celebrate life, because life after cancer is worth celebrating.

“NCSD is also a call to action. As many survivors will tell you, the effects of cancer don’t end when treatment does. Cancer survivors face ongoing, often long-lasting, hardships because of their disease. On National Cancer Survivors Day®, we want to raise awareness of the many challenges of cancer survivorship and advocate for further research, more resources, and increased public awareness to improve the lives of cancer survivors.”

In celebration of National Cancer Survivor Day, Dr. Lonnell Johnson will be sharing reflections from his journey of faith with prostate cancer at a poetry reading and book signing at In His Presence Book Store and Coffee Shop on Saturday, June 1, 2019, from 5-7 pm. The address is 123 Anderson Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301. He will be reading from Embracing Your Life Sentence: How to Turn Life’s Greatest Tragedies into Your Greatest Triumphs.

When diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2000, Lonnell Johnson did not see “a death sentence.” Instead, he saw a “life sentence” that transformed his thinking. In his new book, he shares his holistic strategy to overcome any adversity. Weaving original poetry and Scripture into his battle plan, Johnson shows how he emerged, as not just a survivor but more than a conqueror.
