The Thrive Icon tells your story. It identifies the type of cancer that you were diagnosed with, how much treatment you have endured, what is close to your heart, and that you believe in renewal, rebirth, hope, and a second chance. It is most importantly, a reminder of what you can do and are doing.
YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.
Every time you see your icon or give someone your icon, you are renewing your commitment to achieve your dreams. In essence, you are telling yourself and the world, about what you are doing, and proclaiming that nothing can stop you.

The Thrive Icon symbolizes a commitment made to yourself. It is a commitment to do something audacious, something that you have always dreamed of doing, but never thought was possible. We are all designed for the extraordinary. We all have been taught that we are ordinary. As a person who has had or has cancer, you have already done something extraordinary.
Thrive Icon seeks to bring ‘Thrivers’ together for the purpose of inspiration, community, sharing, encouragement, and support. In addition to being designed for the extraordinary, we are also built for relationships. We succeed when we are in good surroundings and in good relationships.
