CURE Media Group Teams With National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation and National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship in Advocacy Spotlight Partnership Program
Plainsboro, N.J. (PRWEB) November 02, 2016 -- CURE Media Group, the nation’s leading digital and print media enterprise focused on cancer patients, cancer centers and advocacy groups, today expanded its Advocacy Spotlight Partnership by teaming with the National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation and the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.
“CURE®’s Advocacy Spotlight Partnership is focused on empowering and encouraging patients, families and their caregivers,” said Mike Hennessy Jr., president, Michael J. Hennessy Associates, Inc. “We are proud to stand with these two advocacy champions: the National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation, providing crucial support for those facing these rare conditions, and the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, providing a strong voice for anyone whose life has been touched by cancer.”
CURE Media Group’s offerings also include online resources, live meetings, recognition events and a resource guide for the newly diagnosed. CURE Media Group combines science and humanity to make cancer understandable.
Founded in 2001, the National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation (NLMSF) is dedicated to the notion that knowledge equals patient power and works to help patients learn as much as possible about leiomyosarcoma (LMS) so they can self-advocate. Leiomyosarcoma is a relatively rare form of soft tissue sarcoma. About 12,020 new soft tissue sarcomas are diagnosed each year.
The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS), founded in 1986 by and for cancer survivors, has replaced the notion of “cancer victim” with “cancer survivor” — including family, friends and caregivers. NCCS has worked with legislators and policymakers to represent cancer patients and survivors in efforts to improve their quality of care and quality of life after diagnosis.
“These partners share our commitment to promoting advocacy by providing reliable and up-to-date information,” Hennessy said. “The Advocacy Spotlight Partnership continues to expand to meet the needs of our community.”

NCCS represents the millions of Americans who share a common experience — the survivorship experience — living with, through and beyond a cancer diagnosis. That experience has value and can be a transforming, positive force. NCCS also knows that cancer survivors and those who care for them face many challenges. For 30 years, NCCS has been a recognized leader in advocating to improve cancer-related public policy and empowering cancer survivors by sharing self-advocacy tools and collaborating with other cancer organizations to address national policy issues.
