The Patcha Foundation Joins the Global Community to Promote World Cancer Day

A day that is part of the ongoing international campaign to challenge government leaders, providers and individuals to step up the fight against cancer and to make cancer issues a priority. It is also a day to promote healthy eating, physical activity, smoking cessation, drinking cessation, and other healthy lifestyle choices.  We are also actively advocating on Facebook and Twitter.
