Beverly Crowe of Gamerco, N.M. has been selected as an American Cancer Society Hero of Hope. As a Hero of Hope, these cancer survivors have demonstrated a commitment to the fight against cancer through their constant inspiration and contribution to their local American Cancer Society Relay For Life event.Crowe tried celebrating Thanksgiving as usual in 1999, trying to ignore the biopsy she had undergone on her breast a few days prior. But the test weighed heavily on her mind and the day following Thanksgiving, Beverly and her husband went to the doctor’s office to learn the results. The surgeon walked into the exam room and said, “You have cancer.”
“When a doctor blurts out ‘You have cancer’ it’s like falling through a black hole. I couldn’t think… the room was narrowed into the space those words filled, and my mind shut out everything the doctor was saying,” said Crowe. “Finally he realized my suffering, left the room, and I cried.”
Crowe admits at the time of her diagnosis she didn’t know much about the American Cancer Society until later in her recovery and treatment. Later on, an acquaintance came to her workplace and did a Reach to Recovery visit which Beverly greatly appreciated. That visit planted a seed of hope which aided her recovery and eventually also led to her becoming an American Cancer Society volunteer herself.
That hope she gained from other volunteers and survivors she now shares with others. She says that volunteering for the many Society programs is her way of fighting back, and her cancer experience gives her an avenue to help others going through treatment.
Among the events Beverly enjoys supporting is Relay For Life. Now, as she looks back fondly on her first Relay she recalls “I couldn’t believe that others actually cared that I had cancer. I had a medal around my neck walking the Survivor lap with people cheering my survival. If these people cared, I, also, needed to care by getting involved with Relay For Life and other American Cancer Society programs. So I did!”
What helps keep Crowe going after nearly a decade?
“Every time I hear a cancer patient tell a story of hardship, pain, distress, depression, shock, fearfulness, I know that I need to keep fighting back to ease these problems associated with cancer. How will that happen? When people like me keep raising money through Relay For Life, keep advocating for more legislative support, keep spreading educational information about cancer, keep providing services through the Cancer Resource Centers and other programs, and mostly keep supporting the research that is needed to find cures and treatments for cancer so that someday no one will need to hear the words, ‘You have cancer.’”
Heroes of Hope were selected based on their attitude to inspire hope, courage and determination in the fight against cancer. These cancer survivors also have demonstrated exemplary involvement with the Society’s Relay For Life event.
The American Cancer Society’s Heroes of Hope will be instrumental in working with the Society to broaden the outreach of survivorship throughout the year for Relay For Life. Heroes will also be trained as Society spokespeople and will share their inspiring stories.
The American Cancer Society saves lives and creates more birthdays by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back. To learn more about us or to get help, call us any time, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.
