Oct 03, 2012 by Brooke McMillan

  • Tweet

You did it! You helped make history on LIVESTRONG Day! Over 100,000 messages of hope, support and strength were shared through our website on Facebook and Twitter.

Over 100 events took place in cities across the globe -from Honolulu to Dublin, The Netherlands to Jordan, Utah to Nairobi and in tens of YMCA’s across the United States – the message of survivorship touched millions and for that we thank you!

Thank you for sharing your stories too. Many of you honored a loved one in your posts. We invite everyone to look through the messages shared. They are so powerful. Here are a few that struck me this AM.

Again, thank you for sharing your support for the 28 million worldwide affected by cancer. Please remember that we are here for the people fighting this disease, their family members and friends. If you hear of someone that has been diagnosed we hope that you will send them our way. We are dedicated to helping those in need and we are passionate about providing hope.
