Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

World Cancer Day 2014

     Today is World Cancer Day.  According to the WHO, cancer is growing at an alarming pace.

     "The World Cancer Report 2014, from the World Health Organization's (WHO's) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), estimates that the global burden of cancer will rise from an estimated 14 million new cases per year in 2012 to 22 million within the next 20 years."

     You can find information about the book, "The World Cancer Report 2014" by going to the below website.  "We cannot treat our way out of the cancer problem."

     But don't just light a candle,  do something about it!  Prevention is the answer.
