World Cancer Research Fund International - Awareness raising activities

Cancer prevention video - alcohol and cancer risk

We've produced some short videos about cancer prevention to mark World Cancer Day 2012 and will be promoting these via Facebook and Twitter.

We're also co-ordinating activities throughout the WCRF global network to support this important event.

WCRF International is the umbrella association for the WCRF global network. We have member cancer prevention charities in the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and France. We've been working with our WCRF charities to raise awareness of World Cancer Day 2012 in several ways, including advocacy letters to health ministries, press releases and special awareness-raising events.

To mark World Cancer Day this year, WCRF International has also created some short new videos to explain some of the simple steps people can take to reduce their cancer risk. The clips, starring our very own staff members, can be viewed here:

We also have lots of support for World Cancer Day on our wcrf.org website, including a statement by WCRF global network President, Marilyn Gentry, which highlights the goal of reducing death from cancer and other NCDs by 25% by 2025. We're also featuring the fantastic new World Cancer Day infographics!

We're using Facebook and Twitter to make sure as many people as possible know why 4th February is such an important day worldwide. You can follow us too! @wcrfint
