World Rose Day

September, 22 is a special day to ensure that all of us wear a handmade rose to create awareness and bring "SMILES" to all, for remembering and sharing a cancer patient's trauma.

Today,on World Rose Day ,180 DC SRCC salutes to all those who have battled cancer, who are battling cancer or watching a loved one do the same. This Day is in memory of a 12 year old - Melinda Rose of Canada, who when diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer, did not give up hope. In the remaining six months of her life, she made each day meaningful, touched the lives of those around her in a positive, unforgettable way. Through emails, poems and letters, she made sure that she brought joy, right up to the last minute. Let us remember Melinda today and celebrate the unquenchable human spirit.
