Journey Through Survivorship 2026- Charlotte
Description
Survivorship is more than surviving – it’s about living fully, finding purpose, embracing hope, and creating a meaningful life beyond cancer.
Survivorship begins at the time of diagnosis – and from that moment forward, it’s about so much more than getting through cancer. Our 3rd annual Journey Through Survivorship is a special event that allows people from all walks of the cancer journey to celebrate life and get support for the future.
Our theme for this year is “Charting a New Path”. You will experience real world tips on how to make positive changes for your health and wellbeing. You will hear from nutrition experts, integrative clinicians, cancer rehab specialists, mental health clinicians, and our research team. We invite you to join us for a day of connection, support, and learning.
This event will feature a performance from Koolulam who will engage the participants in a shared vocal experience.
Lunch will be provided- all attendees must register individually to ensure we have the correct number of meals.
