The experience of being a cancer survivor will vary greatly from one person to the next, however the one factor that all cancer survivors have in common that we must not forget is that cancer has forever changed the lives of each and every one of them. From the moment of their diagnoses, their own unique survivorship journey began.

Each month The Cope Well Foundation will select and feature weekly cancer survivors who are diagnosed with the same type of cancer. The goal of having weekly Featured Survivors is to give cancer survivors the opportunity to raise awareness for ALL cancer survivors of ALL cancer types, specifically their cancer type, and to share their unique story with a broader audience. Each weekly survivor will be featured on our Featured Survivor page, as well as in our Monthly E-Newsletter and our Quarterly Newsletter. Depending on the type of cancer that has affected their life, we will then feature that cancer type on our monthly Featured Cancer page with the hopes of raising awareness and giving our viewers a better understanding of that specific cancer, and how it can affect the lives of those diagnosed on a variety of levels.

Our Featured Survivors are current Cope Well Members, however their stories are not meant to be testimonials of our program. Instead, they are meant to increase awareness for that specific cancer type and to serve as a source of inspiration to others whose lives have been affected by cancer.

If you are a current Cope Well Member and would like to become a Featured Survivor, please contact us today. To become a Cope Well Member and a future Featured Survivor, please visit our Become a Cope Well Member page.
