American Cancer Society – Global Luminaria Volunteer Project

light Up The Globe - Header Image

The American Cancer Society works across the globe to prevent cancer, diminish suffering, shape the global policy agenda, and catalyze a local response with cancer organizations around the world, giving them a platform to increase their visibility and generate cancer awareness within their country.

Check out the 32 countries where ACS' Global Relay For Life brings people together honor those affected by cancer and lights up the dark by displaying Luminaria bags that are decorated in remembrance of patients, survivors, and those we have lost. Help light up the globe by designing a Luminaria bag, selecting one of Global Relay For Life events, and log your volunteer hours to support ACS' global work.

Light Up the Globe with Luminaria!

You are a strong and kind person. I know you would've been strong if it were me. I want you to show yourself that kindness and strength and come out of the PTSD. You weren't a victim of Cancer, you are a survivor and you won.

You're such a powerhouse! When you share annoyance about a difficult task or ignorance relating to your visual impairment (from beating cancer), I'm reminded again of how impressive you are. Keep it up!
