Cancer survivors: Share your story

Niagara Wheatfield Tribune, June 11, 2009

As America's 12 million cancer survivors observe the 22nd annual National Cancer Survivors Day, Roswell Park Cancer Institute is taking the celebration in a new direction with the launch of an online cancer survivors community.

A specially designed Web site - myRoswellPark.com - allows patients, their families and friends to easily share stories, photos, videos and more.

"Cancer survivors and their families face each day with courage and dignity and serve as an inspiration to all of us," said Donald L. Trump, M.D., president and chief executive officer, RPCI. "Each cancer survivor has a story to share when the time is right. Through myRoswellPark.com, survivors from across Western New York can candidly talk about their lives since a cancer diagnosis and what survivorship means to them."

Patients will receive a free T-shirt, while supplies last, when they contribute their stories to myRoswellPark.com or mail to Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Elm and Carlton Streets, Buffalo, NY, 14263, Attention: Department of Public Affairs.
