More than 3,500 people gathered in Chicago's Grant Park on Sunday, June 6 for the Lurie Cancer Center's signature event — the 17th Annual Cancer Survivors' Celebration & Walk. The blue summer sky was a beautiful backdrop for the purple and white t-shirts worn by cancer survivors, families and friends as they strolled along the lakefront. The picnic lunch, kids' activities, entertainment and speakers combined to make it a day to remember.
The morning ended with 11-year-old cancer survivor Chase Malackowski sharing wisdom from his favorite movie, 'Star Wars.' "Never tell me the odds is a lesson I learned from Hans Solo in Episode Four. I knew from the beginning I would get through my cancer and recover." Chase urged the crowd to make the most of "the lessons we have learned, the experiences we have witnessed and the celebration we share today."
See you on June 5, 2011 for the 18th Annual Cancer Survivors' Celebration & Walk!
