February 4 is World Cancer Day! So, how are we honoring World Cancer Day in 2018? With a powerful playlist of songs shared with us by our global team of advocates around the world.
Living with cancer can be likened to running a marathon that requires energy, stamina, support, and encouragement; it takes the same and more to get through daily disease treatment regimes. We want you to know that you are not alone in facing your diagnosis. You have the support from our global community each day! We created a playlist of inspiring songs from around the world so you can listen anytime to keep you going.
These are not just any songs, friends. These are songs that are upbeat, energizing and empowering! Songs chosen to remind us and remind our patient friends all around the world that on World Cancer Day and beyond, “We Can, I Can”. After all, we can all listen to inspiring music and feel the support of your community.
Listen to the World Cancer Day Playlist today!

Thousands of patients are diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) annually around the world. CML, like any other cancer, does not discriminate. It affects people from all regions and walks of life. However, unlike many other cancers, CML has an amazing story due to advancements made in its treatment in the last decade. It was only 15 years ago that a patient newly diagnosed with CML would have a prognosis of survival of less than 5 years with the treatments available at the time.
On October 23rd we visited the out-patient department of the Philippine General Hospital to distribute a recent shipment of hats that we had received from With Love in Every Stitch. It was amazingly beautiful to see the faces of small children queuing up to choose the hats they liked. The children were fascinated with the colors and designs of the hats. They gladly tried them on and proudly showed them to their parents and the other children.
