Women Survivors Alliance Details
Cancer doesn't end when treatment does and it draws a definitive line in the sand of life. Hearing the words, "You have cancer," changes a person, and all the lives connected to theirs, forever.\\The Women Survivors Alliance is on a mission: to establish a network where women affected by cancer can find their voice, improve their quality of life, and embrace their 2nd Act. We EMPOWER, EDUCATE and CONNECT women whose lives have been touched by cancer. \\We help them re-enter their lives and navigate the muddy waters of survivorship by addressing the long-term and life limiting effects of the illness and its treatments – including physical, psychosocial, relationship and financial challenges. \\We have three ribbons of support: Our first ribbon of support is SURVIVORville, our annual event in Nashville, TN, helps us achieve our mission in a BIG way. We bring together women survivors of ALL ages, ALL stages and ALL cancers. We provide them with life applications. We give them opportunities to share and learn.\\Our second ribbon is NOU Magazine (NEW+YOU) NOU is a comprehensive resource. Its dynamic content includes articles on nutrition, exercise, finances, sexuality, health, a book club, a directory of cancer and survivorship organizations across the internet, and more.\\The Third Ribbon is My 2nd Act. We believe helping is healing, and encourage women to tell their stories – either written or read before an audience – of using their gifts of time and experience to help other women on their cancer journeys. So we created My 2nd Act, a ever-growing collection of survivor essays, and My 2nd Act: Survivor Stories from the Stage, a professionally produced stage featuring 12 women each reading their 5 minute stories. The result of both of these platforms is celebratory, inspiring, and empowering for all.
