Survivors’ Day Celebration 2026

Join us for Lung Cancer Initiative Survivors’ Day Celebration at Mez in Durham, NC! In honor of National Cancer Survivors’ Day we are taking the opportunity to celebrate lung cancer survivors. All survivors are invited and may bring a guest. Lung Cancer Initiative considers anyone who has been diagnosed with lung cancer a survivor.

Facilitated by Survivor Liaison Cheryl Lecroy, these gatherings emphasize wellness and survivorship while providing a safe, supportive space to share stories, listen, and uplift one another. You’ll also have the chance to hear a brief presentation from Laura Alder, MD, from the Duke Cancer Center, Judy Noble, lung cancer survivor, and Christine Culler DVM, MS, DACVECC from Blue Truck Honey. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or further along in your journey, you’ll find compassionate peers and open hearts. New survivors are especially encouraged to attend—it’s a wonderful way to get connected to a network of hope and support.

A special thank you to AstraZeneca and Blue Truck Honey for sponsoring this event!
