World Rose Day: History, Significance And Quotes 1

What we do not know is that thousands of people die every year fighting cancer and a hundred thousand are infected by cancer. Isn’t it an exaggeration to say that celebrities, young and old alike, are infected with this deadly disease? There are ways to detect cancer at an early stage with the help of modern technology now available compared to the past. Patients are also able to recover faster. But what is needed to conquer this disease is better medicine and morale is paramount.

There is no doubt that cancer is the leader of all diseases. It injects fear in the veins of the human and when people think they are all cured and it is all going to be okay it attacks from the farthest corner igniting once again diminishing all hopes.

That is why all the nations of the world are determined to come forward and take steps to motivate people to conquer cancer. As part of that, the United Nations came up with a proposal called World Rose Day, and every year World Rose Day is celebrated on September 22.
