CHASING RAINBOWS: YOUNG ADULTS LIVING WITH CANCER SCREENING & DISCUSSION EVENTS Interested in organizing a screening of Chasing Rainbows for your community, educational institution or support group? Find out's what's involved here.
Wherever possible, Chasing Rainbows screenings are accompanied by an introduction from producer/director Pat Taylor and a performance of the theme song “Chasing Rainbows” by singer-songwriter Michael Booth Palmer. Audiences may also hear from a local young adult cancer survivor, and from other speakers about the support systems available to young adults living with cancer, and the importance of survivorship research. There will be time set aside for questions and comments from the audience. The goal of these screenings is to provide a unique opportunity for candid discussion and additional insight into the issues facing young adults living with cancer, as well as the resources available to them, their families, friends, caregivers and medical support teams.
