This Friday, February 4 is World Cancer Day

One in two men and one in three women will get cancer in their lifetimes. Isn't it time to take a stand against cancer and change the odds? On Friday, please take a moment to spread the word and help send a global message to end cancer.

This Friday, February 4 is World Cancer Day. To support this awareness-raising initiative, Stand Up to Cancer is calling on all Facebook users to take a virtual stand with their status message.  If you could encourage your readers to participate, it would be greatly appreciated.
Participation is quick and easy:  go to WCD2011.su2c.org and fill in your connection to cancer (e.g. "my mother," "my sister," "John Taylor").  If you are personally in the fight, SU2C suggests you enter the message: "I stand for the end of cancer."  The page will automatically create your World Cancer Day Facebook status for you, similar to the one below:
