Rose is a symbol of love, care and concern. September
22nd of each year is observed as Rose Day, for supporting all those
people around the world who are fighting with cancer. Rose day is observed in
the memory of 12 year old Melinda Rose from Canada, who was diagnosed with
Askin’s Tumour, a rare form of Blood Cancer. Doctors predicted that she will
not survive more than a couple of weeks, but she lived six months more. Within
that period, she successfully cheered up other cancer patients and their caregivers
with her letters, poems, and emails.
Rose day is observed to let all cancer patients
aware that they can face the disease with strong willpower and spirit. Alertness
about cancer is important not only for supporting the patients, but also for
preventing it. Awareness programs on the
Rose day also make normal people aware of the importance of being cautious
about cancer.
Rose day brings comfort to cancer patients with handmade
roses, cards and gifts from known and unknown people all around the globe. It is the time to make a self-awareness as
well to make your life happy with a healthy lifestyle. Here are some ways to
prevent cancer that you may implement in your life.
