World Cancer Day 2021- 4th February #IAmAndIWill

World Cancer Day is acknowledged on the 4th of February. The theme for 2021 is “I am, and I will”. The aim is to unite the world to raise awareness for cancer.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the number of cancer related deaths will increase annually, and reach 13 million by 2030.  

How are you going to raise awareness on World Cancer Day? 

Here are a few ways to get involved and raise awareness about cancer:

  • committing to improving your personal health 
  • supporting someone you love with cancer 
  • educating yourself about cancer 
  • speaking out against cancer 
  • making history by helping to eliminate cervical cancer.

• Find your nearest cancer organisation at Union for International Cancer Control 
• Worldcancerday.org has provided various Take Action opportunities based on how much time you can invest- a second, a minute, 5 minutes or even more!
