In Memory of Sharon Rose: A Legacy of Hope Lives On
CELEBRATING SHARON ROSE 1961 - 2018
As we celebrate seven years of Survive and Thrive Cancer Recovery, we honor the memory of Sharon Rose, whose life and legacy continue to inspire our mission. In 2018, while planning our second annual conference, we experienced the devastating loss of Sharon—an irreplaceable part of our family.
​
Sharon was first diagnosed with colon cancer, which later spread to her liver. After enduring multiple surgeries and years of chemotherapy, she faced each day with unwavering strength, grace, and an unshakable commitment to supporting others. She was more than a supporter; she was the soul of Survive and Thrive. Her radiant spirit, unwavering dedication, and passion for uplifting cancer survivors defined the heart of our work. Even while facing her own health challenges, Sharon remained a beacon of resilience, always committed to providing hope and healing to others.
​
Today, we proudly dedicate this annual conference to Sharon’s memory. Her legacy lives on in every story of survival, every moment of community, and every act of support we extend. ​We come together as a united community to support one another and raise funds for a cause she so deeply believed in. In honoring Sharon, we carry forward her legacy each year and continues to guide us on this shared journey of resilience, empowerment, and transformation.
