Cancer is the biggest killer and needs to be stopped. Cancer kills 8 million people every year. That’s more than AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis. Combined. Also more than every military conflict on the planet combined.

Cancer is something that will have an impact on or influence your life. In 2009, the Canadian Cancer Society established these statistics:

• • Approximately 171,000 diagnoses of cancer were found in Canada in 2009.
• •40% of Canadian women and 45% Canadian men will develop cancer during their lifetime.
• •Cancer is the cause of 75,300 Canadian deaths per year and 8 million globally.

Think about 4 people you love the most in this world. There is a 98% chance that you or one of them is going to get cancer.

Current statistics show that 1 in 4 Canadians will not survive their battle with cancer.

Don’t let this happen. Let’s change the statistics.

Giving support, helping advocate, volunteering, and monetary donations will help turn things around.

Be aware of the realities of cancer. This unforgiving disease affects far too many loved ones to be ignored. Cancer is everyone’s cause.
