Face Up To It: Hermila’s Story

Sep 07, 2011 by Brooke McMillan

  • Tweet

We know the key to getting care to people that need it starts at the top. This is why it is so important to engage world leaders and put a human face on these diseases. If you have been affected by cancer, diabetes, lung or heart disease we ask you to take action and share your story by adding your face to our mosaic. We are sharing the mosaic in New York during the UN Summit.

LIVESTRONG is currently working in Mexico to help eliminate stigma associated with cancer. The more we share the more likely others are to share. Listen to cancer survivor Hermila’s story below then add your face to our global mosaic to show your support for her and the other 36 million facing non-communicable diseases worldwide.
