Today we recognize the skilled surgical oncologists who bring expertise, precision, and hope to patients facing cancer—making life-changing care possible every day.

These dedicated professionals perform intricate procedures, remove tumors with careful precision, and guide young adults through some of medicine's most complex decisions. Their expertise directly impacts survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients navigating treatment.

At AWF, we witness firsthand how surgical oncologists partner with young adults through frightening diagnoses, offering both technical skill and compassionate care. Thank you to every surgical oncologist dedicating careers to fighting cancer and restoring hope!

SHOUTING THANK YOU to our Strawberry Fields Sponsors at the PEACE LOVE RUN REUNION. Their generosity fuels our pursuits for young adults impacted by cancer.

Five meaningful ways to show up when someone needs you most:

1. Offer specific help, not vague offers—"I'm bringing dinner Tuesday" beats "let me know if you need anything."

2. Show up consistently with small gestures like texts expecting no response.

3. Listen without trying to fix everything; sometimes presence matters more than advice.

4. Respect their energy levels and boundaries without taking it personally.

5. Remember important dates and check in beyond the initial diagnosis news.

Your friendship becomes powerful medicine when it adapts to their changing needs through treatment's ups and downs.
