In honor of National Cancer Survivors Day, more than 400 community members joined Florida Hospital and Florida Cancer Specialists and Research Institute to recognize and celebrate cancer survivors during a minor league baseball game between the Daytona Tortugas and the Clearwater Threshers on June 5, according to a news release.

The attendees had battled various types of cancer. Some were still undergoing treatment, while others have been cancer-free for more than 20 years.
