World Cancer Day is less than two weeks away!

What are YOUR plans to mark the Day?

It's coming up faster than you think, but fear not, there are still plenty of things you can do, big or small, to create greater awareness around cancer and to show the world that cancer is "Not beyond us".

Map of Events - Share your events now

We have some great examples already on the Map of Events, but if you need more inspiration, there are some additional examples of past activities here. So don't wait any longer and share your event now! It only takes a few minutes and is the perfect way to show the huge breadth and diversity of activities happening all around the world.

Join the Global Conversation on Social Media

A simple yet effective way to mark the day is to tweet, post on Facebook or even Instagram about it! To do so, simply use #WorldCancerDay or #NotBeyondUs and keep up to date with the latest info by following/liking us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Resources now available in even more languages!

Thanks to the efforts of many of you in our global community, the resources are now available in various new languages including Arabic, Bengali, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Nepali, Persian (Farsi), Russian and more. Check them out in the resources section on worldcancerday.org. Simply use the language selector to see what is available in your language. We are still receiving even more translations and will continue to add more in the coming days.
