In related news, we’ve kicked off a new social media campaign and we invite you to be a part of it. At CURE, we know that you are so much more than your diagnosis. You’re a mother. A neighbor. A mentor. A brother. You’re #MoreThanAPatient. That’s why we want you to share your statements, photos, videos, art, and more on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #MoreThanAPatient, to empower others to think of themselves in a new light and spread the message that cancer will not be the only thing that defines a person.
