Here in Michiana, survivors will celebrate with a picnic-style lunch, musical entertainment, door prizes, with local speaker, Nancy Jaynes, Joe Recendez, Christine Smillie and Brian Shappell. The first pitch is thrown at 1:45p.m. with the South Bend Silverhawks competing against the Michigan Battle Cats. “This celebration of life is for everyone,” says Shelby Peck, of the American Cancer Society, one of the NCSD coordinators for the Michiana Cancer Survivors Society. “Whether you’re a survivor, a family member, a friend, or a medical professional, our community’s NCSD event is a great place to see for yourself that anyone can live a fulfilling life after a cancer diagnosis.” A cancer survivor is defined by the NCSD Foundation as anyone living with a history of cancer—this includes newly diagnosed survivors, as well as long-term survivors. An estimated 8.9 million Americans are now living with, and beyond, a diagnosis of cancer. This year’s local National Cancer Survivors Day celebration of life will be held at Stanley
