Cancer
Association of Darke County...
National
Cancer Survivors Day Walk
May 13,
2012
Annually
the Cancer Association of Darke County (CADC) celebrates National
Cancer
Survivors Day. This year’s celebration, a Walk and 5K Run, will be
Saturday,
June 2, 2012. The CADC honors those Darke County citizens who are
living with
and beyond cancer. We
will join hundreds
of communities worldwide in celebrating life as part of the 25th annual
National Cancer Survivors Day. Celebrations will be held throughout the
United
States, Canada, and other participating countries. We want to invite
everyone
to our community’s celebration. The celebration will be held at the
Greenville
City Park Shelter #3 with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Our
definition of a “survivor” is anyone living with a history of
cancer-from the
moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life.
Major
advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment have
resulted in
longer survival. However, physical, financial, and emotional hardships
often
persist after diagnosis and treatment. To improve the quality of life
for cancer
survivors, help is needed.
The Cancer
Association of Darke County was established to provide service
according to the
needs of cancer patients who reside in Darke County. We Walk and Run in
memory
of family and friends and in honor of survivors who continue to fight
the
fight.
As the
organizers of this local event, we encourage everyone to attend the
celebration
to show their support for our community’s cancer survivors, their
families,
friends, and healthcare providers.
