Are you noticing an usual number of people wearing red today? It’s no surprise if you are since today marks World
Cancer Day.
Every year on February 4th, the World Health Organization (WHO) encourages “Go Red for Women” day, spreading awareness to the 500,000 women affected with heart disease each year. Do you have your red on?
If not, that’s alright; there are other ways to get involved by visiting http://www.goredforwomen.org/. Money raised through “Go Red for Women” activities will be used towards research on heart disease.
We all know how serious cancer is and that it’s the leading cause of death. But did you know this? According to medicalnewstoday.com, “The World Health Organization estimates that 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015 without intervention.”
With a striking number like this, Road Scholar Transport is doing their part to help spread awareness and stop cancer fatalities. Operating awareness trailers for Alex’s Lemonade, The American Breast Cancer Foundation, The Children’s Tumor Foundation, Prostate Cancer Awareness, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, The Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation, and many more, Road Scholar is on the road to a cure.
