City of Hope also has created an interactive page to get people involved in World Cancer Day.
“For patients, doctors, and everyone else here at City of Hope, the battle against cancer is going on all day, every day,” says Emily Parris Sandler, director of online engagement and giving programs at City of Hope. “And on February 4, people around the globe will come together in this fight. Will you be a part of this international movement with the entire City of Hope community?”
City of Hope is dedicating this year’s World Cancer Day to the “young innovators” who have joined City of Hope in recent years. “These bright young scientists are already changing the face of cancer research and turning the ‘impossible’ into ‘possible,’” Sandler says. “Still, every 30 seconds, someone in the United States hears the words, ‘You have cancer.’ So we’ll keep pushing the boundaries of science until we find a cure—on World Cancer Day and every day.”
