| Cancer Survivor's Park. Harbor Island. |
I’ve never come across a Cancer Survivor’s Park before, but according to the Bloch website, blochcancer.org, they are all over the nation. The parks were created to celebrate the will to live, and are meant as “a peaceful, forgiving sanctuary... in a sea of stress.” This monument to the living on Harbor Island is entitled, “Cancer...There’s Hope” and is sculpted by Victor Salmones. It depicts a patient and her family entering the maze of cancer on one side, and then a joyful survivor on the other side after her successful treatment. It was a beautiful sculpture, and I stopped to take a picture.
