Share Your Story Submissions

At CURE, we believe sharing stories is vital to connecting and supporting our community. We're inviting you to join our "Share Your Story" initiative and lend your voice to the conversation. We want to hear about the moments that shaped your journey, the lessons you learned, and the insights you gained.

To submit, please send us a Word document (550-800 words) to editor@curetoday.com with "Share Your Story" in the subject line. Remember, your story should be original and unpublished.

To help you get started, consider these prompts:

  • Think about a time you had to really push for what you needed during treatment. What did you learn about self-advocacy?
  • Where did you find unexpected joy or strength? How did that change your outlook?
  • How have your relationships shifted since your diagnosis?
  • If you could go back, what's the one thing you'd tell your newly diagnosed self?

CURE reserves the right to edit submissions for clarity, content and length and in accordance with CURE's style guide and standards. By submitting your work to CURE, you acknowledge that the ownership of the copyright rights in any edited version belong to CURE as an original creation of a derivative work. You also acknowledge that if you submit work elsewhere, you will not have the right to use CURE’s edited version without CURE’s prior written permission.
