SEPTEMBER 22 WORLD EVENTS

Day For The Welfare Of Cancer Patients: Rose Day 22 Sept.

Introduction: The Day for the Welfare of Cancer Patients is observed for the well-being of cancer patients and their caretakers by inducing courage, hope, peace and happiness in their lives and helping them to fight cancer with a smile on their faces. The mind is everything we think we become, so if we keep encouraging cancer patients that we are always supportive of them, they can live better and healthier lives with a positive frame of mind. A sense of togetherness needs to be created in the minds of cancer patients and their grief-stricken caretakers who have developed a deep sense of loneliness. Rose (red) is a symbol of love, passion and compassion which emanates positive vibes when gifted to anyone. So, on this day we used to gift roses to cancer patients and caretakers in the hope that cancer, a deadly disease, can be delayed with a shower of love and compassion.
