It's World Cancer Day and we're all doing our part to encourage our friends and family to take some simple steps to fight cancer. One important way to guard against cancer is to talk to your doctor about your risk factors.

Will you send the message below to your friends and family, asking them to check in with their doctor today? A little encouragement goes a long way and we all have to work together to keep our loved ones healthy.

Dear Friend, It’s World Cancer Day and I’m joining the team at LIVESTRONG to spread the word about the global cancer crisis and the simple things we can do to protect ourselves. So here’s the message: Know your risks. Call your doctor….What are you waiting for? Learning about your family history and talking to a doctor about your daily habits can give you valuable insight into the steps you need to take, right now. It’s true – talking to your doctor about cancer can be scary, and many of us just forget to bring it up. But your health is important to me and that’s why I’m asking you to start the conversation now. All of us can take some simple steps, like this one, to fight cancer. For help in taking that first step, go to livestrong.com and DARE TO CALL YOUR DOCTOR: http://www.livestrong.com/dare/672-call-your-doctor/ Want to nudge your friends to call their doctor?
