Dear friend,
February is a significant month as we observe International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD) on February 15. Many also embrace the themes of love, friendship, and unity, as many parts of the world celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14.
In honor of ICCD, we are featuring stories from around the world on the Together by St. Jude™ Facebook page. In collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization and Childhood Cancer International LATAM, we are raising awareness about
the early signs and symptoms of childhood cancer. Follow along and help us spread the word.
For young adult survivors of childhood cancer, dating may feel mysterious and messy. But dating is a skill anyone can learn. Read our childhood cancer survivor's guide to dating on the Together by
St. Jude™ Blog.
We are excited to announce we recently hosted the inaugural meeting of the Together by St. Jude™ External Advisory Board. Fourteen global thought leaders joined us in Memphis to offer their strategic guidance, professional expertise, and cultural insights. We look forward to working with our advisory board members to continuously improve and expand the Together by St. Jude™ online resource.
Join us in raising awareness about childhood and adolescent cancer and celebrating love and resilience this February.
With warmth and gratitude,
Daniel Bastardo Blanco, PhD
Manager, Together by St. Jude™
