Raising awareness for World Cholangiocarcinoma Day – giving a voice to those fighting this rare cancer and working towards a cure!
Mark your calendars! World Cholangiocarcinoma Day on February 15 is a global movement dedicated to raising much-needed awareness for this rare form of cancer. In the spirit of unity and advocacy, this crucial day was launched in 2016 by the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation with a vision to globally increase understanding and research for this disease. Cholangiocarcinoma, a malignancy of the bile ducts, is often called a "silent killer" as it's typically discovered in the late stages due to its subtle symptoms. However, it's time for silence no more! On this day, we honor those who are battling cholangiocarcinoma, remember those we've lost, and celebrate the healthcare professionals and researchers leading the charge towards a cure! February 15 presents a fantastic opportunity to rally together, increase our knowledge, and shine a spotlight on this lesser-known condition. Let's make some noise for World Cholangiocarcinoma Day!
Use your online platforms to raise awareness. Change your profile picture or cover photo to the campaign's logo, share a powerful patient's story, or create a post with facts about cholangiocarcinoma. Remember to include relevant hashtags such as #WorldCCADay and #CholangiocarcinomaAwareness.
Many organizations organize fundraising events like charity runs, bake sales, or auctions. Find an event near you and participate. Your participation and contribution can make a difference in the fight against cholangiocarcinoma.
Many health organizations conduct webinars on World Cholangiocarcinoma Day where experts discuss the disease, the recent developments in research, therapies and support services. Attending these webinars can increase your understanding of the disease and its impacts.
Organize an event in your local community to raise awareness. This could be a health fair, a talk session, or even an art exhibition with all proceeds going to a dedicated cholangiocarcinoma charity or research organization.
These colors represent cholangiocarcinoma so wear them proudly on World Cholangiocarcinoma Day. Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to do the same, raise awareness and show solidarity every February 15th.
World Cholangiocarcinoma Day is a crucial event that gives a much-needed boost to global understanding and research of this rare bile duct cancer. By raising awareness, we can collectively fight against this silent disease and provide hope for patients and their loved ones.
