In the Philippines,
cancer is the third leading cause of death. Yet there are very little cancer
prevention programs or consciousness programs. What does this mean? With little
awareness or concern, for your relative, friend, officemate or you, this may
mean, recognizing it too late, diagnosing too late or less chances of
surviving. In the Philippines,
cancer survival rates are low.
Team Philippines Benefitting LIVESTRONG
works to change these facts because we know we live in a society where change
can easily be done. But we just need your support. In our society, spreading
knowledge is about creating the numbers, coming together as one group of
individuals who empower each other, and demand change. Think about your friend or family member, or
that story you heard from someone else – those people who have faced cancer,
are fighting cancer or whose lives were forever changed by cancer. They are the
people we are coming together for.
