Cancer research and funding is at the forefront of most media outlets especially breast cancer research and funding. It does my heart good as a woman to see NFL players wearing pink shoes or NBA players wearing pink to show solidarity for women?s health issues. Women can do the same service for men with cancers such as testicular, colon, or lung cancers and we should.
September was Childhood cancer awareness month and October already sports breast cancer awareness. Cancer awareness shouldn?t have only one month to make people aware. Walking for cancer research and funding can be done almost any time of the year and walking is a great exercise for those who are making a step towards better health.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma society often have Night Walks to make those aware of their needs and their wonderful advancements in research and treatments. Visit www.lls.org for tons of good information and resources for children and adults with leukemia, lymphoma, or other blood cancers. A quick Internet search can also offer you pages of links to specific cancers, lists of symptoms or warning signs for cancers, and ways to volunteer and contribute financially to cancer research.
Taking an interest in cancer research and funding those programs that are working so hard for the cure can be a win-win for each of us. Individuals can start their own walking group to raise awareness or to raise funds for someone in their community who is dealing with cancer. Each of us can be responsible for reaching out to the American Cancer Society in our own areas to see what we can do to help. And any time you can walk in a cancer walk-a-thon to support research and a cure, you are promoting your own health with those steps. Together we can make a difference in this dreaded disease if we start right now. At the very least read up on the warning signs and get your appointment made to have a physical. It can be important to your life.
