Saturday, February 4th is World Cancer Day, when organizations and individuals around the world unite to raise awareness about cancer and work to make it a global health priority. Every year more than  8 million people die from cancer worldwide.

One of the most visible events marking the occasion in the United States will be in New York, where the Empire State Building will be lit blue and orange for the seventh year in a row. The colors are those of the Union for International Cancer Control, which organizes World Cancer Day.

At thinkIT, we can’t stop to unite to help accelerate progress in the fight against cancer and breast cancer in particular with our project breastIT.

Around the world, communities will hold festivals, walks, seminars, public information campaigns and other events to raise awareness and educate people on how to fight cancer through screening and early detection, through healthy eating and physical activity, by quitting smoking, and by urging public officials to make cancer issues a priority.

As breastIT, we are giving away bands to help increase awareness of breast cancer in Uganda. All you need is to share our original poster with key words #WorldCancerDay & #WeCanICan.
