Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients or caregivers dealing with a cancer experience. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

Taught by Sue Meyn, M C. She has presented to many organizations in Phoenix and now Flagstaff, and was a facilitator for groups at Cancer Support Community Arizona for seventeen years.

In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

Saturday, October 10, 2026, we honor the hundreds of individuals who have walked through our doors at A Walk to Remember, our fifth anniversary celebration.

During A Walk to Remember we walk together to reflect on our first five years and to raise money to fund the next five years. Cancer can bring uncertainty at diagnosis, through treatment, during recovery and remission, and into survivorship, recurrence, end of life and grief. Caregivers, children and families move through every stage too.

Please park at the Switzer Canyon Professional Plaza behind CSCAZ.  We will gather in the front parking lot of CSCAZ at 914 N San Francisco Street.  Check-in for the walk starts at 8:30 a.m. and we will have a light stretch to get warmed up and greetings from local dignitaries.

The Walk to Remember will depart at 9:00 a.m. from CSCAZ Flagstaff. Registration for the walk is free. Register yourself and form a team. Set a fundraising goal and ask people to sponsor your walk by donating through your personal or your team QR code. You don't have to collect a penny; the website will take care of that for you. You do the outreach, build a team, invite sponsors, and come join us as we remember the past five years and plan for five more.

A second walk will be held on the campus of Northern Arizona University.  This walk will leave from the Upper Observatory Field on the corner of University Avenue and South San Francisco Street and will circle south campus, ending at the Walkup Skydome.  This walk will gather at the Upper Observatory Field at 10:45 am for an 11:00 am departure.

The Live Registration Link is found here for both walks. https://secure.qgiv.com/event/awtr2026/.

Register today and invite friends, family, neighbors, and others to join you in our quest to make sure NO ONE FACES CANCER ALONE in northern Arizona.

Please join this monthly group for a supportive discussion and education regarding living with pancreatic cancer. Learn about treatment options, side effect management and survivorship.

Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients or caregivers dealing with a cancer experience. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

Taught by Sue Meyn, M C. She has presented to many organizations in Phoenix and now Flagstaff, and was a facilitator for groups at Cancer Support Community Arizona for seventeen years.

Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients or caregivers dealing with a cancer experience. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.
