Saturday 4 February is World Cancer day
Taking place under the tagline ‘We can. I can.’, World Cancer Day 2016-2018 will explore how everyone – as a collective or as individuals – can do their part to reduce the global burden of cancer.

You could
JOIN THE WCD THUNDERCLAP CAMPAIGN
Thunderclap is a tool that facilitates the mass dissemination of messages via Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr by simultaneously posting to the accounts of those who support the campaign. This is a great way to give the campaign visibility and increase the chances of ‘trending’ on social media platforms.
For our Thunderclap to go live, we need the support of a minimum of 500 individuals for the message to be broadcast.
