THE USA ACKNOWLEDGES THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AS THE MONTH DEDICATED TO THE CANCER ANNUAL AWARENESS.

Several groups of health activists which includes the cancer society took to the streets and walked the usual annual three days sixty miles stretch on the streets of Atlanta/Georgia yesterday to express their concern about the rate at which cancer disease has spreaded in the USA and in the world, besides the number of victims it claims as the United States of America observes the month of october as the month dedicated to cancer awareness.
Based on recent health reports, the number of victims claimed to cancer disease every year has been estimated at about ahundred thousand people in the USA alone.
The United States of America has acknowledged this incurable disease as apandemic that requires the effort of all to be dealt with and its problems as researches for the sought for acure have been continuously performed.
My interest in the procession based itself upon two things, the pink color they picked for their t-shirts, pants, jackets,shoes and the banners they had carried along with them with the slogans written, or insribed on them in the color that signifies their concern, effort and resistance to the disease and its problems.
I joined the procession at the tenth street and peachtree road, then walked up-hill on the peachtree road until we reached down- town.
I have read, enjoyed and recorded each and every slogan in my memory, then deduced the conclusion to the use of the color pink as an indication of afree cancer world. In other words, it meant their demand for aworld without the incurable disease called cancer.
