Which everyday cancer problem will we fix today? Livestrong does not agree with or endorse every comment that individuals post on our page.

We have a Mission Question, not a Mission Statement, because we believe that we can only achieve the best solutions through asking the right questions. We ask survivors and caregivers what they need, we ask the system how it can be more person-centered, we ask innovators how we can bring impossible ideas to life. While we encourage fans to share thoughts and opinions on the Livestrong Facebook pag

e, we expect that this will be done in a respectful manner. Our goal is to share ideas and information with as many individuals as possible and our policy is to accept the majority of comments made to our profile. Therefore, a comment will be deleted if it contains:

• Hate speech
• Profanity, obscenity or vulgarity
• Defamation to a person or people
• Name calling and/or personal attacks
• Spam
• Other messages that Livestrong deems inappropriate

All links posted as comments on Livestrong posts will be reviewed and may be deleted. Repeated violations of the Livestrong comment policy may cause the author to be blocked from the Livestrong page. We understand that social media is a 24/7 medium; however, our moderation capabilities are not. We may not see every inappropriate comment right away, and we are trusting in the maturity of our community to ignore personal attacks and negative speech or respond politely.

Over twenty years ago, a grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer.

A yellow wristband became a daily reminder of hope, strength, and the love shared between a grandchild and grandfather.

The bracelet has faded. It's stretched. It's worn almost completely through, but the reason for wearing it never changed.

Behind every yellow wristband is a story. A survivor. A caregiver. A family member. A friend.

Today, we're honored to share one of those stories.

Who do you wear yours for? 💛

One often-overlooked part of cancer survivorship? Nutrition.

For cancer survivors, what you eat after exercise can play an important role in rebuilding strength, supporting recovery, and maintaining energy throughout the day.

One great option? A Burrito Bowl with Chicken and Black Beans from our friends at Common Threads.

Chicken provides high-quality protein to help repair and rebuild muscle. Black beans add fiber, iron, and magnesium to support recovery and overall health. Looking for an extra boost? Try swapping rice for quinoa to add even more protein and long-lasting energy.

Small choices after a workout can make a big difference over time.

Cancer has touched millions of lives.

Some of us are survivors. Some of us are caregivers.
Some of us have walked beside a loved one through treatment.
Some of us have lost someone we wish was still here.
And some of us simply believe that no one should face cancer alone.

This National Cancer Survivors Day, we're honoring every story, every journey, and every person whose life has been changed by cancer.

Tell us your story in one word:

💛 Survivor
💛 Caregiver
💛 Loved One
💛 Supporter

Before there were survivors, there were steps. 💛

One step.
Then another.

A first walk around the block after treatment.
A first mile after years away from running.
A first decision to keep moving forward when standing still felt easier.

Today is Global Running Day, but this isn't really about running.

It's about choosing hope when the road ahead feels uncertain and remembering who or what inspires us to keep going.

For many, the yellow rose symbolizes hope, encouragement, and support. For us, it also represents the spirit of Run for the Roses, a reminder that every survivor's journey is unique.

Whether you're running for yourself, for someone you love, or for the millions of people navigating life after cancer, every step has meaning.

Join us this October for the 5K or 10K and take your next step with purpose at Run for the Roses. Comment ROSE to get the link to register. 🌹

Cancer survivorship is something millions of people live every single day, but many survivors say no one prepared them for what came after treatment.

This National Cancer Survivor Month, we’re talking honestly about survivorship:
💛 fatigue
💛 fear
💛 rebuilding
💛 healing
💛 learning what life looks like now

Because survivorship deserves more than awareness. It deserves support.
If you or someone you know could benefit from our cancer support resources, comment RESOURCE so we can send you a link to get started.

What started as a Zumba class turned into something much bigger. 💛

The team at Mystic Valley YMCA brought their community together for a high-energy Zumbathon that raised funds to support cancer survivors through Livestrong at the YMCA.

Nearly 60 people showed up ready to dance, sweat, laugh, and give back, proving that community support can look a lot like joy.

Programs like Livestrong at the YMCA help cancer survivors rebuild strength, confidence, and connection after treatment. And events like this help make that possible for more people.

Thank you to everyone at Mystic Valley YMCA for turning movement into momentum for survivors.
