The resolution acknowledges the growing number of cancer survivors due to medical advancements and highlights the significant physical, emotional, and financial hardships they often endure, including increased risks for other health conditions and potential work limitations. By establishing this observance, the New Jersey Legislature aims to foster greater public understanding and support for these survivors, encouraging appropriate activities and programs throughout the month.
