Lets all take a moment on this day to keep those people effected in our minds and to look and see what we can do to prevent these diseases from occurring in the future!
Below is information that was posted on the UICC nd WHO websites. If you have time and are interested pleas take a moment to read it over.
So lets not forget: "Today's children, tomorrow's world"; so prevention IS essential !

Re: UICC ( International Union Against Cancer )
World Cancer Day
4 February 2007
Cancer. Children.
Together, those two words strike fear in the hearts of parents everywhere.
But add a third word - prevention - and the message becomes one of hope, health and life stretching from youth through adulthood.
Prevention is the focus of "Today's children, tomorrow's world", the second phase of the World Cancer Campaign that will launch on World Cancer Day, 4 February 2007.
At the heart of the campaign will be messages to parents, politicians and health-care professionals. UICC and its member organizations will share information about simple lifestyle changes and cutting-edge vaccines that can prevent many forms of cancer.
"This campaign is about preventing cancer now and it is about the future," says Franco Cavalli. "By teaching today's children, we can give them a better, healthier world tomorrow."
