At Community Health Network we believe that cancer survivors should be celebrated each day. If you know someone who is living with a history of cancer, take a moment to honor him or her. Find a way to let them know how happy you are that he or she is in your life. To get you thinking, here are 10 simple ways to honor a cancer survivor:
- Mail a greeting card or write out words of appreciation
- Pick up the phone to wish that person a happy Cancer Survivors Month
- Send a bouquet of flowers
- Go to lunch or out for coffee
- Give a small gift of appreciation
- Throw an impromptu party
- Take a hike or climb a hill to symbolize conquering a challenge
- Sign up for a 5k in his or her honor
- Take a memorable photo together
- Make a donation to a cancer charity in his or her name
To purchase gifts for cancer patients or survivors, visit one of Community's FigLeaf Boutique stores.
