Love Notes Around The World is a volunteer-led American Cancer Society platform where individuals and groups have opportunities to create, share, and/or send messages of compassion to cancer patients in treatment, caretakers, care providers, and others in need.

Vivian Chan, founder, shares, “Love Notes Around The World is a highly engaging, creative, and interactive platform that will truly connect people around the world. Cancer has not stopped, so neither will we.”

Approximately 80% of calls American Cancer Society to its support center has received since March have been to address COVID-related impacts, including concerns about treatment, access to care, distress, and more. Love Notes Around the World is a peer-to-peer format with digital and print options for people to connect with survivors, caregivers, first line supporters, and others in need.
