World Cancer Day

World Cancer Day is held every year on 4th February. It is dedicated to spreading awareness, sharing information, and raising much-needed money for cancer research. It began in 2000 and is led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). Every 3 years, World Cancer Day and the UICC announce a new campaign theme, and the specific focus of each year.

The campaign theme for 2022-2024 is “Closing the Care Gap”, with the theme of WCD 2023 being “Uniting our voices and taking action”. This year’s campaign summons like-minded people to be united as we build stronger alliances and new innovative collaborations in the fight against cancer.

Some of you will be aware that I am a certified Health and Wellness Coach. But you may not know what this entails exactly…

Essentially, I support people in the process of identifying areas of their life which are out of balance and may be negatively affecting their overall sense of wellbeing to reset and regain their sense of self. The health and wellness coaching process is designed to explore and identify a client’s wellness-related goals, nurture their sense of connectedness, and review opportunities to boost their emotional and physical health. We tap into positive and intrinsic motivating factors to help people to implement and crucially, maintain meaningful lifestyle changes. Even small changes, made consistently, can be hugely impactful.

In my own personal effort to unite and take action against cancer, I offer my coaching services (free of charge) to cancer patients and survivors across the cancer continuum. In doing so, my ambition is to support and empower those, for whom every day is world cancer day, to accomplish their unique wellness goals. If you or someone you know would be interested and may benefit from this type of support please share this or get in touch: #strongertogether
