Exuberant “Get To Know You Session” for NEW ATTENDEES!
Hi Friends,
I just returned from the OMG YA Cancer Summit 2014…although a bit tired I feel energized by the well orchestrated series of events that took place over the last few days in VEGAS!!!
Young Adult cancer survivors (some currently in treatment) from all of the USA, Canada, and Europe attended this action packed, fun filled, emotionally uplifting, and informative event.
Mathew Zachary, Ali Ward and the entire Stupid Cancer team should be applauded for the fantastic job they did to ensure everyone’s needs were met while attending the YA Cancer Summit.
Here are a few topics covered: Brain Tumor Support Group, Caregiver Support, Advocacy, Anger Management, Nutrition, Media and Survivorship, Insurance, Meditation and Relaxation, Pesticides, and more.
Plus there were Hair and Wig stylists available for anyone who wanted a new look…and also Makeup tips to put your glam on:)
I also had the pleasure of meeting two of the NE Ohio YA Cancer Survivors (Phoebe and Lauren) sent by the SGAYA Cancer Fund and In It Together.
Here are a few photographs of the event…
