Every first Sunday in June, we pause to honor a group of individuals who never asked to be celebrated – yet deserve recognition for their courage. National Cancer Survivors Day, observed this year on June 7, shines a light on the more than 18 million Americans who have faced cancer and are still here, still fighting, still inspiring. Their resilience represents the strength of the 5% of our population who have confronted one of life’s greatest challenges and persevered.
