Learn To Make Change With Your Young Adult Cancer Story

wave

Want to learn to tell your story to make change?

In a 2-hour, online workshop at Lacuna Loft, we’ll delve into how you can turn your young adult cancer story into advocacy. Advocacy comes in many different shapes and sizes so we’ll talk about what it might mean to you and how to go about shaping your own narrative into the change you want to see around you. The workshop will be interactive and equip you with the skills you need to turn your story into advocacy.

The program is open to young adult cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers and is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26th. 2:30-4:30 pm PT / 4:30-6:30 pm CT / 5:30-7:30 pm ET.

When you sign up for the workshop, you’ll get a confirmation from the system that you’ve registered. Then a few days before the workshop occurs, you’ll get an email from Lacuna Loft explaining how to join the video chat. ***You’ll need the link that we’ll provide you, a headset with a microphone, and a webcam.*** [ The webcam is very important. The workshop will be interactive so the other participants need to be able to see your face! 🙂 ]

What if I’ve taken the workshop already?  At this time, the workshop has not changed in between sessions.  A ‘Round 2’ of the workshop is in process though and we’ll debut it in the fall!

Support The Metastatic Breast Cancer Access To Care Act

Our friends over at the Young Survival Coalition have just shared this great, legislative advocacy opportunity with us and we couldn’t wait to share it with you!

From now through September 9, you have an important opportunity to make your voice count!   The Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act is an important legislative priority of the National Breast Cancer Coalition that concerns Medicare and Social Security eligibility for metastatic breast cancer patients.

If passed, HR 2178/S 1374 would waive the 24-month waiting period for Medicare eligibility and the 5-month waiting period for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits.

During August, Congress is on a break, so it’s a great time to reach out.  You are your own best advocate, and this is an important opportunity to make a difference!

Take action today!
