Are you a cancer survivor? We have a special job for you! Student Buddies would like to organize an in-school network of Designated Survivors. When a patient is diagnosed with cancer, the whole family is impacted. Children may fear the worst and need a neutral third party to talk it out. Many times, teachers are one of the first adults that students come to when they receive the news of a diagnosis. As a Designated Survivor, you could help spread the message of hope and talk through some of the pain that comes when a family is diagnosed.
