Share Your Story Submissions

At CURE, we believe sharing stories is vital to connecting and supporting our community. We're inviting you to join our "Share Your Story" initiative and lend your voice to the conversation. We want to hear about the moments that shaped your journey, the lessons you learned, and the insights you gained.

You can now share your story in writing or as a video message.

To help you get started, consider these prompts:

• Think about a time you had to really push for what you needed during treatment. What did you learn about self-advocacy?
• Where did you find unexpected joy or strength? How did that change your outlook?
• How have your relationships shifted since your diagnosis?
• If you could go back, what's the one thing you'd tell your newly diagnosed self?
