A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE THE WORK AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE
STAFF AND PATIENTS OF THE ADOLESCENT CANCER
SUPPORT GROUP "LASTING IMPRESSIONS"
DURING THEIR TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE
PARTICIPATED IN THE LASTING IMPRESSIONS PROGRAM
DURING THE PAST TEN YEARS AND TO DESIGNATE
SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1996, AS "LASTING
IMPRESSIONS DAY".
Whereas, the number of young South Carolinians affected by cancer
necessitates the need for continuing development of support groups
and therapy programs to assist these young patients in coping with a
difficult situation; and
Whereas, the crisis caused by a diagnosis of cancer can be lessened
through therapeutic activities and support from other cancer
patients; and
Whereas, The Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders of
Richland Memorial Hospital is responsible for the treatment and
care of adolescents with cancer and realizes that the problems and
uncertainties of youth are further compounded by a diagnosis of
cancer; and
Whereas, The LASTING IMPRESSIONS Support Group was
developed by the Center and designed to provide an environment
where adolescents can face the crisis of a cancer diagnosis and help
each other deal with the problems and fears associated with cancer
as well as discuss the other issues ordinarily faced by adolescents;
and
Whereas, since its inception in November 1985, adolescents have
received assistance in crisis resolution, community reentry, and
support for long term adjustment; and
Whereas, both current and former members of The LASTING
IMPRESSIONS Support Group personify the spirit of altruism,
hope, and courage which should be emulated by all South
Carolinians. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives
concurring:
That Saturday, January 27, 1996, is designated as "LASTING
IMPRESSIONS Day" in South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that the General Assembly extends to the
members and supporters of The LASTING IMPRESSIONS Support
Group its sincere wishes for continued success in its constructive
and compassionate efforts on behalf of adolescents with cancer.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders of Richland
Memorial Hospital.
