Today is ! Did you know that cancer accounts for 1 in 8 deaths worldwide? That's more than HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria combined, but cancer does not stand a chance against us. We promise to continue to spread awareness, educate our classmates and fundraise for research to find a cure that brings us a world without cancer.
