Stories of Hope and Inspiration from Twist Out Cancer's Brushes With Cancer Program
Over the past 15 years, Twist Out Cancer has positively impacted more than 280,000 people through the power of storytelling, creative arts, and human connection.
Through our signature Brushes with Cancer program, 1,704 individuals have participated as Inspirations and Artists, coming together to share their stories, build meaningful connections, and create something lasting. These collaborations have resulted in 853 unique works of art, each representing an individual journey with cancer and the powerful connection formed between an Inspiration and an Artist.
In this podcast, you can hear directly from our Inspirations and Artists as they share what it means to tell their story, connect through art, and experience the powerful moment when an Inspiration sees their finished artwork for the first time.
For 15 years, Twist Out Cancer has created spaces where people touched by cancer can share, connect, and heal. Your support helps us continue providing meaningful programs and creative arts experiences to individuals and families navigating cancer.
Help us reach the next person who needs connection and community. Donate today or learn more about our work at www.twistoutcancer.org.
