The After Cancer’s First Event: Making Strides Charlotte 2023

The After Cancer at the Making Strides Charlotte

We are thrilled to share our experience at the Making Strides Charlotte event in October 2023, a significant milestone for The After Cancer as it marked our very first event participation. Making Strides Charlotte was an inspiring event organized by the American Cancer Society to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support.


Connecting with the Charlotte Area Breast Cancer Survivors Community

The morning was filled with energy, hope, and an overwhelming sense of community. We had the incredible opportunity to meet many wonderful women, each with their own powerful stories of resilience and strength. These interactions were not only heartwarming but also highlighted the immense need for comprehensive support for cancer survivors, reinforcing our mission. Being in Charlotte allowed us to connect with locals and understand the unique needs of this vibrant community.


Introducing The After Cancer Resources to the Charlotte based Cancer Survivors

Our booth attracted numerous visitors who were eager to learn about our resources designed to help survivors manage treatment symptoms, adopt healthy behaviors, and reduce the risk of recurrence. The genuine interest and positive feedback we received were truly encouraging. Many of these amazing women decided to join our group sessions, where they can find a supportive community and access the care they need. Our presence in Charlotte underscored the importance of local engagement and support.


Building a Supportive Community of Breast Cancer Survivors in Charlotte

Attending Making Strides Charlotte 2023 was a profound experience for The After Cancer team. It allowed us to connect with survivors, share our vision, and lay the foundation for lasting relationships within the breast cancer community. We are grateful for the warm reception and look forward to continuing our journey, providing the support and resources survivors need to thrive. Our involvement in the Charlotte area has strengthened our commitment to making a difference locally and beyond.


By participating in events like Making Strides Charlotte, The After Cancer aims to raise awareness and offer invaluable support to cancer survivors. We are excited to grow our presence in Charlotte and help more individuals on their journey to health and wellness.
