Today Is World Cancer Day

Today Is World Cancer Day - and we have a crucial opportunity to shine a spotlight on the global impact of cancer and share our support with the 28 million cancer survivors worldwide.
Through the few short weeks I've been trying to get the word out about my efforts on my sister, Julie's, behalf, I've come to find out just how many friends, loved ones, acquaintances and colleagues have had their lives impacted by cancer in it's so many different forms.
As I've mentioned before in my blog here, early detection and early treatment are crucial to long-term survivorship.
But as important are the efforts by the foundations, research facilities, physicians, scientists and therapists of all kinds who are making surviving and long-term survivorship possible and healthy. And always searching for new ways to eradicate cancer or find ways to improve the lot of those who are surviving.
So help celebrate World Cancer Day by celebrating the success we are having, but knowing how much further we have to go. Educate yourselves and your loved ones about the things we can do to live a healthy lifestyle that will help stave off cancer's ravages. 
And find ways to help those who are on the front lines. Put some money toward the battles at the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC - the one I'm supporting for those with Ovarian Cancer), Livestrong or the charity of your choice - every bit helps enormously.
