Cancer Resource Center looking for content for virtual National Cancer Survivor Day

NORWAY — National Cancer Survivor Day is Sunday, June 7, and the Cancer Resource Center of Western maine is planning a virtual celebration this year.
Cancer doesn’t quarantine or stay home — and the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine hasn’t either, said Dianne Madden, executive director.
“With the help of the wellness providers in our communities, we have been able to transition many of our weekly programs virtually and our dedicated volunteers have been making calls to folks who we have helped in the past to identify any unmet needs such as food or gas,” Madden said.
The center is also putting together a special video in honor of National Cancer Survivor Day, and is looking for help form the community. The video will be shared on Facebook, included in the weekly newsletter, and made available on the website June 7.
“We’d love to know what survivorship means to you, especially in these challenging times, how you’ve utilized the CRCofWM, or know of someone who has been assisted by CRCofWM in any way,” she said.
Those who would like to participate can email/mail, or text comments they would like to make (particpants can be anonymous, or the center can share their first name) and also send fun photos and videos of yourself and family surviving the quarantine.
“More than ever before we need to stay connected,” Madden said. “The Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine is committed to continuing to do everything possible to ensure that no one faces cancer alone.”
