10 Ways To Honor a Cancer Survivor

At Community Health Network we believe that cancer survivors should be celebrated each day. If you know someone who is living with a history of cancer, take a moment to honor them. Find a way to let them know how happy you are that they are in your life. To get you thinking, here are 10 simple ways to honor a cancer survivor:

1. Mail a greeting card or send a handwritten note of gratitude/admiration of the survivors' accomplishment.
2. Pick up the phone or send a text to let them know you are thinking of them on this day.
3. Send a bouquet of flowers.
4. Go to lunch or out for coffee- or try some new experience or event together.
5. Give a small token/gift of encouragement. Handmade is even better!
6. Plant a flower/plant/tree in honor of the survivor.
7. Walk a trail or around a park together and encourage the survivor to reflect on how far they have come in their journey.
8. Sign up for a 5K in their honor.
9. Take a memorable photo or fun video together.
10. Make a donation to a cancer charity or foundation in honor of the cancer survivor.
