You Are Here: I've Had It

I've had it, you've had it--whose turn is it next?
By Jo Ellen De Luca

Cancer is such a dread disease no one is immune. What to do when "Survivor" becomes a new part of our name?

Fight back. Get active...

Find other active survivors. Decide to do one positive project together. The impact of this will translate into others joining an issue that matters to you-or help others to follow your lead.

Let the newspaper and/or TV know that cancer must stop.
Inspire another person to do the same.
Persevere.

Stopping cancer one family at a time-or one town at a time...it begins with you and me and whoever comes after us.

Check out the Internet and find someone else who has already put together a project similar to the one in your heart. Call or email and ask how they started out and what it takes for you to do the same.

Make the plan fit your town and off you go.

See what your local cancer center is doing...they may need another pair of hands to volunteer on an already planned project or they may love your new idea and help you fulfill your project.

Let everyone who helped you know how it turned out and share together ways to do this project better and how to get the word out to other towns to start their own version. Life is worth living to the end.

Service to others seems banal and trite yet it is, in the end, what drives us. Survivor, part of your name.
