Nashville, TN About The WSA It began with a mission from one woman and now the Women Survivors Alliance is helping millions across the world. Established in 2012, WSA s mission is to establish a network where women affected by the disease can find their voice, improve their quality of life, and embrace their 2nd s. The Women Survivors Alliance is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and provides survivor education through its three Ribbons of Support SURVIVORville, My 2 nd Survivor Stories from the Stage and through its online magazine, Nou Magazine (NOUMagazine.org) When you become a partner in all its ribbons of support where you connect directly with survivors along with cancer organizations, hospitals, cancer centers, physicians and their staff.

2 My 2 nd : Survivor Stories from the Stage Unique Theater Stage Show Production Featuring Women Cancer Survivors My 2nd : Survivor Stories from the Stage is a platform for cancer survivors to share their deepest personal stories. These theatrical shows prove that the human spirit always prevails and that even a lifechanging diagnosis like cancer can have a positive effect on survivors and their friends, families and society as a whole. My 2nd is a professionally produced stage show staged in theaters across the country and brought to you by the Women Survivors Alliance. The shows feature a cast of real women on stage revealing their own personal experiences of surviving cancer. Their dramatic essays unravel the truth about perseverance in the face of uncertainty as they enter their 2nd of life--survivorship. The result is a raw and honest exposé that not only empowers those on stage, but also inspires those witnessing. It's an amazing evening of emotions as it celebrates both the survivors and nonsurvivors in the audience. In turn, the members of the audience are motivated to create their own 2nd s, inspiring others regardless of the challenges they face in life. And long after the stage lights have gone dark this inspiration and joy has a lasting effect. Thanks to our new partners at Vrtuo Interactive Networks and SmartMed Plus+, My 2nd : Survivor Stories from the Stage is now a television show expanding into 140 countries by 2016 end. As a newly featured television series on this Smart TV platform, My 2nd will now follow the path of the current mainstream productions as we film the audition process in each city where survivors share their amazing stories with the hopes of being chosen for the theatrical presentation. Wellproduced backstories of inspiring participants will be created as we follow these courageous women through the process and into the spotlight. The stage show itself will have a more intimate connection to its cast and cameras back stage will capture the jitters and butterflies as the women step out onto the stage. This new approach will reflect the energy and vitality of the brave women who bare their stories to a worldwide audience. WSA Founder Karen Shayne and Emmy winning television veteran, Marcia Mulé will be executive producing along with Artifact Creative's Philip Bradley directing.

5 About the Women Survivors Alliance WSA VISION/MISSION The WSA is an all-volunteer organization. 94 cents of every $1.00 go towards programs to transform survivorship from a mood into a movement by empowering, educating, and connecting women whose lives have been touched by cancer. It is our desire to establish a network where women affected by cancer can find their voice, improve their quality of life, and embrace their 2nd. SURVIVORSHIP If cancer was cured tomorrow, 1.5 million women would be spared a diagnosis this year alone. But the 8.4 million women survivors in America will continue to face issues they never expected once their treatment ended. Cancer is a line in the sand of life and a BIG game changer. Its impact doesn t end just because treatment does. Survivors must address the long-term and life limiting effects of the illness and its treatments including physical, psychosocial, legal and financial issues. And then there s the big one fear of reoccurrence. Learning to navigate the muddy waters of their new normal is the only way survivors can return to being contributing members of their families and society as a whole. Survivorship, and the recognition of the many challenges survivors face following treatment, is the cutting-edge theme in the world of cancer. The Commission on Cancer (part of the American College of Surgeons) has mandated that its 1,500 accredited cancer care facilities must have survivorship care plans in place by 2015 in order to renew their accreditation. It is clear that the time has come to move survivorship to the forefront in the conversation about cancer. In 2014, the Women Survivors Alliance was honored for their work by the American Association for Cancer Research for their work with survivorship and was included in the AACR National Progress Report. The WSA is honored to work along side its partner corporations and organizations to help women achieve true survivorship, and a fulfilling, promising, and cancer-free life!
