The Livestrong Loop - June 2024

Hands holding a yellow magazine

20 years ago, a simple $1 wristband took the world by storm. More than just a fad of the early aughts, the band still adorns our wrists today because of what it means: No one has to face cancer alone. Read the oral history of the Livestrong Wristband in Texas Monthly Magazine's July issue, on newsstands and online now.

CANCER POLICY IN YOUR STATE

We're excited to announce the newest addition to livestrong.org: the Cancer and Public Policy Map. This map highlights both state and federal level legislation currently being considered that affects cancer patients and survivors. Choose a state or topic you are interested in, view the issues at hand, and take action. Thanks to the generosity of FiscalNote for making this map and its functionality possible.

NATIONAL CANCER SURVIVORS MONTH

 

At Livestrong, we define someone as a cancer “survivor” from the moment of diagnosis. We believe from then on you are surviving, and you deserve to be able to do that on your terms, achieving the highest quality of life along the way–no matter what that means to you. As we recognize June as National Cancer Survivors Month, click here to find support for any phase of the journey.
