During The Challenge weekend, we are hosting a casual reception for any Leaders in town on Saturday, October 21 from 5-6 PM at LIVESTRONG headquarters.

The LIVESTRONG Guidebook

I am including the link to the digital version of the LIVESTRONG Guidebook once again this month. Feel free to share with your networks.

NOTE: We are currently unable to create a digital version of the Journal that typically accompanies the hard copy version of the Guidebook. As you share the link (https://www.livestrong.org/theguidebook) to the digital version of the Guidebook be sure to let your contacts know that the Journal is not available, but the Guidebook allows for online annotation, bookmarking, etc.

When we share our own life experiences, it can have a last impacting on those around us. We encourage you to share your cancer story below—whether it’s about your diagnosis, your treatment, your recovery or someone you know affected by cancer. Your story is important.
