Cervivor School Heads to Seattle

Excitement is in the air as Team Cervivor and several attendees from across the globe prepare to converge in Seattle, Washington, this week for Cervivor School!

We are thrilled to welcome an incredible group of survivors, advocates, and speakers who are dedicated to making a difference in the mission to eliminate cervical cancer.

Cervivor School is a unique opportunity for us to come together, share our experiences, and gain valuable knowledge that will empower us as patient advocates to drive change and raise awareness about cervical cancer prevention and the many facets of being a Cervivor. It’s a place where we can learn, grow, and connect with one another, all with the shared goal of eliminating cervical cancer.

Over the course of this event, we will engage in meaningful discussions, hear from expert speakers, and participate in workshops and activities designed to strengthen our advocacy efforts. Whether you’re a seasoned Cervivor or attending for the first time, this is a chance to expand your knowledge, network with like-minded individuals, and become an even more effective advocate for cervical cancer awareness and prevention.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has made this event possible, including our generous sponsors and community supporters as well as the dedicated Cervivor team. Together, we are creating a world where cervical cancer is front and center in awareness so it can become a thing of the past.

If you would still like to give to our Cervivor School fundraiser, there is still time! Please make a donation directly through our website or through our Classy fundraising page. Every donation matters!

As we gather in Seattle, let us embrace the spirit of unity and collaboration that defines the Cervivor community. Together, we can drive change, support one another, and work towards a future where no one has to face the challenges of cervical cancer.

Safe travels to all attendees, and we look forward to seeing you in Seattle!

It’s Time to Spark More Below the Belt Conversations

Cancer is a life disrupter that can test one’s physical, emotional, and mental strength to the brink. Those who have endured this relentless disease and emerged often feel called to do something more so others don’t have to go through the same thing. Sharing their story becomes an invaluable source of hope, inspiration, and surprisingly, healing.

This is the importance of sharing your story and sparking more below-the-belt conversations.

Breaking the Silence
Gynecologic cancer often carries with it a heavy stigma, and many patients and survivors initially find it challenging to talk openly about their diagnosis and treatment. However, sharing your story helps break the silence surrounding these cancers, making it a topic that is easier for others to learn and discuss. This shame resilience fosters a sense of community and support, as others facing similar challenges can relate to your experiences.

Providing Comfort and Hope
This journey can be a frightening and isolating time, both for patients and their loved ones. When you share your story, you offer comfort to those who are in the midst of their own experiences. Your insights provide them with hope and reassurance that they, too, can overcome this formidable adversary. 

Empowering Others
Your story can empower others to take control of their health. It can motivate individuals to prioritize regular check-ups, engage in healthier lifestyles, and advocate for themselves when it comes to their medical care. By sharing your journey, you become a beacon of strength and resilience that encourages others to take action.

Raising Awareness and Changing the World
Your story can contribute to increased awareness about the disease. By describing the symptoms you experienced, the importance of early detection, and the challenges you faced during treatment, you can help educate others about cancer prevention and the need for regular screenings and it can even improve the way the treatment is provided in the future. This knowledge can ultimately save lives.
