Share your story

Your story has power. 
No two experiences with cancer are the same. Whether you’re a person living with cancer, a loved one, a medical practitioner, a supporter, or an advocate, you possess something important: a perspective that is unique to you. When you share your views, you bring valuable insight and humanity to the conversation. Your story can inform, energise, and inspire. 

Together, all stories can become a movement. 
When we combine all stories together, they form a collective voice—one that is powerful enough to bring about systemic change. They can form a body of evidence to convince governments, shape policies and inform healthcare systems on the need to embrace people-centred care. This is about building awareness and overcoming stigma. But it is also more than that. It’s about sending a message to those with the power to change things for the better.

By sharing your story, you’re not only advocating for yourself. You’re also contributing to a future where every person receives the care they deserve—tailored, compassionate, and centred on what truly matters. 

By sharing your story and artwork, you agree that World Cancer Day can use your content to promote cancer awareness and you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

All stories will be reviewed and all identifying information removed before they are posted.
Your personal information will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and will only be used for the purpose of this platform.
