Gathering of cancer survivors planned

Cancer survivors and their friends and family will gather Sunday, June 28, at My Old Kentucky Home State Park to celebrate life. A special photo exhibit, “Faces of Cancer,” featuring local survivors, will be unveiled.

All cancer survivors in the Lincoln Trail District will be recognized at the free “Hope Soars ... Celebrating Life” event, 2-4 p.m.

Cancer survivors, caregivers, family members, friends and healthcare professionals will unite in this symbolic event to show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality. There will be music, refreshments and a resource exhibit by local organizations. A photo display honoring cancer survivors from Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson and Washington counties will be officially unveiled. After Sunday, the exhibit will travel throughout the district, providing an opportunity for family, friends, neighbors and colleagues to share the courage and inspiration of these survivors.
