What Does It Mean to Heal and Be Healed? #WeHeal

Thank you for being part of the #WeHeal project!

From April 10 through April 26,  we asked you to share stories of how you were healed or helped someone else heal. And you did—big time. We sparked a global conversation and received dozens of submissions from people who wrote poems, took pictures, recorded video, and shared stories about the healing process. Some entries brought smiles, other tears; but they all show how #WeHeal together. Here's a sampling of some of our favorites:

"#WeHeal through laughter!"

"'We' certainly did heal me—of bone cancer at age 24."

"As a patient advocate, I have found that often the best way to help someone heal is to listen."

"I found out I am cancer-free and do not need chemo or radiation treatments. I am abundantly grateful."

“Healing is about giving someone who is hurting a voice—speaking when they can’t answer the questions—from physicians, family, friends."

Although we're no longer requesting entries, we encourage you to read through all our submissions. The stories are sure to inspire you to pay forward the inspiration this project created.

And as part of that good will, we'll be mailing out 400 t-shirts in May to those who entered our HEAL t-shirt giveaway. It's one more way we can continue to share our stories of healing every day.
