LIVESTRONG Day in Denver
by Guest2 Comments
Oct. 2 marks the Fourth Annual LIVESTRONG Day Cancer Survivor Celebration and Glow Stick Vigil on the Colorado Capitol Steps.
Festivities begin at 5:30 p.m. with the rock band Burns Twice. Next, guest speaker Sean Swarner from The Cancer Climber Association, two-time cancer survivor and the first survivor to climb Mt. Everest, will share his inspirational story. Sean was diagnosed with two different and unrelated forms of cancer, once when he was 13 and again at the age of 16. Sean has since survived and gone on to climb the highest peaks, known as the Seven Summits, of Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, Antarctica and North America.
After Sean shares his inspirational story, cancer survivors and their supporters will be encouraged to share their voices during an open-mike session. To close the program, the Glow Stick Vigil will remember lost loved ones with music from the Reign Project.
The band Burns Twice delivers a high-energy electric mix of classic rock and driving blues that is sure to get the party started. Band members have a personal connection to cancer and want to help celebrate survivorship with a fun and exciting set.
Members of the Reign Project have sponsored and supported LIVESTRONG Colorado events for the past two years. The Reign Project is excited and pleased to debut at an event celebrating cancer survivorship.
Come join cancer survivors on the Capitol steps and celebrate survivorship!
LIVESTRONG!
