Noah Bailey on LinkedIn: This week we celebrate World Sickle Cell Awareness Day. Sickle cell… (2024)

Today we're the incredible story of our own Nigel Graham as part of National Cancer Survivor Month.In addition to working at Aflac, Nigel is also a volunteer firefighter and has always been active and healthy. So when a routine prostate exam revealed he had prostate cancer, it came as a complete shock.Thankfully, it was caught extremely early, and Nigel was able to have surgery right away, avoiding chemo and radiation. Today, he is cancer free and now passionately urges other men to get checked regularly.And to show he's back stronger than ever, he completed a grueling Spartan race last November.Join Nigel in encouraging loved ones (or yourself) to stay on top of check-ups. 💙

Aflac was proud to sponsor the first-ever CyberFirst EmPower Girls event in Northern Ireland last month.After the event, 80% of girls surveyed said they were more likely to explore a career in technology or cybersecurity than before attending the program.We'd call that a success!

With a little help from friends, anything is possible.Aflac helped pre-K through 2nd graders experience what, for many, was their first live stage production — a musical adaptation of the beloved children's book "Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andreae.For most of the students, the field trip was not only their first time seeing a show at the grand RiverCenter for the Performing Arts in Aflac's hometown of Columbus, Georgia, but their very first musical theater experience ever.It was an incredible morning for the nearly 300 students, and we were happy to support an experience that sparked creativity, imagination and a love of learning.

This June, we celebrate the courage and resilience of cancer survivors during National Cancer Survivors' Month. The journey isn't an easy one, but the strength and perseverance of survivors is truly inspiring.Since 1995, Aflac has helped fund childhood cancer research and treatment. Our partners at Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center have provided survivor care to 2,179 pediatric cancer survivors in the last five years.We're honored to play a role in supporting those facing cancer through our products and resources.

According to the Cost of Dying 2024 report, 94.5% of people reported suffering from at least one negative physical or mental symptom after a loss of a loved one, and 84% said these symptoms had a harmful effect on their daily life.

Effective July 1, Empathy's loss support services will be available to Aflac Group Life, Absence, and Disability Solutions covered insureds and their beneficiaries under life insurance, to better manage grief and administrative burdens associated with the loss of a loved one. These services align with Aflac's commitment to provide care and value to our customers."Grief and loss are one of the most challenging times for families, and Aflac is committed to provide comprehensive support when our insureds and their families experience the loss of a loved one," said Aflac Senior Vice President, Group Life, Absence and Disability Solutions, Scott A. Beeman. "Our partnership with Empathy allows us to provide these needed support services to the beneficiaries and also extend the same services to our insureds."
