Everyone has special times in their lives that they especially like to remember - childhood moments, a fantastic vacation, a quiet moment with family and friends, a wedding, graduation, and the birth of a new baby. The moments and people that are important to us have special places in our lives and our hearts. And whether they are memories of a beloved friend, family member or special time together, memories of moments shared with loved ones are among the treasured of all. These memories become our history that forms our family traditions, which are passed on through generations.

Tell Your Story is dedicated to the mission of assisting cancer patients with an outlet for their stress and anxiety through the creating of life book albums. This ministry and the staff in the Division of Pastoral Care Department at Roswell Park Cancer Institute strive to bring meaning and organization to each person by the telling of their story. Persons under care at Roswell may experience great financial, physical and emotional strain. It is our hope that by receiving an album and other core materials, this will give patients and family members a tangible way to collect, celebrate and pass on their most treasured memories and life stories. Each person is the star of his or her life. A life story that when told in an album becomes a legacy.
