Event Information
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. In Bermuda over 300 people are diagnosed with cancer each year and 80+ people die due to cancer every year.
Together, we will change that.
This World Cancer Day, we recognise that our commitment to act will lead to powerful progress in reducing the global impact of cancer. So this year, on Friday, February 4, your actions - big and small -will make lasting and positive change. Because progress is possible. We need your commitment to create a cancer-free world. This World Cancer Day help close the care gap!
Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre believes that we can help reduce the number of people being diagnosed with cancer, if we all take action today.
You can help us reach our goal to raise $10,000 through World Cancer Day events, donations will fund our cancer prevention programmes, as we work to raise awareness that 30-50% of all cancers are preventable, and the choices you can make to reduce your cancer risk!
Our time to act is now. #ClosetheCareGap #WorldCancerDay #Bermuda #ReduceYourRisk
