Every year, 12 million people are diagnosed with cancer. But according to the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), nearly 40% of these diagnoses are preventable.
This week, in honor of World Cancer Day, we want 25,000 people to encourage friends and family to take small – but important - steps to fight cancer. Studies show that a push from a friend or family member is a great way to jumpstart a healthy behavior – will you take a moment to pass on a fun, encouraging message?
MAKE THE CALLTake Action
Talking to your doctor about your risks and what to do about them is a critical way to guard against cancer. But because people are afraid, busy or just forget, they don’t take the simple step of picking up the phone. Tell your friends to call their doctor today.
NO BUTTS ABOUT ITTake Action
Lung cancer is the fastest growing cause of cancer deaths in the world, and for the most part, it’s because of cigarettes. Nudge your friends and family to quit smoking for a week.
LESS SODA, MORE WATERTake Action
Unhealthy eating habits and obesity play a large role in the growing cancer crisis. Send a quick, playful message to your friends and family asking them to drop the soda and drink more water.
