By LGBT Cancer on Sunday, June 28th, 2009

The worlds first LGBT Cancer Meeting on Twitter will take place on July 9, 2009 from 12-1:30 PM EDT.  Facilitated by the United States based national nonprofit, Out With Cancer, the LGBT Cancer Meeting hopes to connect, educate and inspire Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender cancer survivors and their supporters. ” @lgbtcancer now has 3,000 followers, which set a great opportunity for a twitter style  LGBT cancer survivor meeting,” said Out With Cancer Executive Director Darryl Mitteldorf, LCSW.  Out With Cancer is our country’s first LGBT cancer survivor support and advocacy nonprofit, and is a leader in using new technology to bring support to local and world-wide cancer survivors.  ”Some of our members have access to large, LGBT communities, but many are isolated, throughout the world. Out With Cancer uses Twitter and online support groups, like http://www.outwithcancer.org , in creating a global LGBT Cancer Survivor Community.  For more information, contact darryl@outwithcancer.com
