World Cancer Day

Sooner or later, it seems, cancer has an impact on us all. That’s why World Cancer Day on February 4 is an important day to raise awareness about prevention, detection, and treatment. Started by the Union for International Cancer Control in 2008, World Cancer Day activities seek to significantly reduce illness and death caused by cancer by 2020.

 

HOW TO OBSERVE WORLD CANCER DAY

  1. Get Social

    Join the #WeCanIcan, Support Through Sport, and Thunderclap campaigns on social media. For the more adventurous, you can also check out #nohairselfie on Facebook or Twitter.

  2. Take a Moment And Commit

    Take a moment to reflect on cancer’s impact on you—and commit to taking positive action, whether it is donating time or money, scheduling a doctor’s appointment or making a healthier choice at mealtime today.

  3. Reach Out And Remember

    Take a moment to connect with your loved ones who have been touched by the big “C.”
