WOODSTOCK - Communities are doing their part in support the fight against cancer.
Today marks the day where local organizations and charities will raise awareness and communication on the disease.
Community Fundraising Specialist for the Canadian Cancer Society Oxford, Hailey Parliament says there are hundreds of charities who contribute across Canada.
"Cancer Day happens every February 4th and it's the day for cancer awareness and cancer messaging to really get out. There's over 100 different types of cancer and over 200 cancer charities in Canada, so World Cancer Day is the day for everybody to talk cancer and connect with one another, and build awareness around what it is and around what the Canadian Cancer Society can do for people."
Parliament adds the Canadian Cancer Society Oxford will be contributing in a variety of ways today to help raise awareness today.
"We know that while cancer changes people, it doesn't have to define them. So here we believe that life is bigger than cancer. As the only national charity that supports Canadians with cancer in all communities across the country, we fund ground-breaking research into more than 100 types of cancer, we offer trusted information, programs and services that help people with cancer and their families when they're unsure or anxious and we advocate to governments to drive important social change and funding for cancer-related issues."
