She attached them to cards saying, “The National Cancer Institute’s annual budget is 1.8 billion US dollars, and only 5 percent goes to cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon. ellieswann1 https://padlet.com/ellieswann1/msobn660b36x/wish/234686022 2018-02-23 14:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ellieswann1/msobn660b36x/wish/234686022 What is cancer? ellieswann1 https://padlet.com/ellieswann1/msobn660b36x/wish/234687327 Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of the body grow and reproduce uncontrollably.

Every year, more than 350,000 people are diagnosed with the disease. But experts estimate that more than 4 in 10 cancer cases could be prevented, largely through lifestyle changes, such as:

not smoking

keeping a healthy bodyweight

eating a healthy, balanced diet

cutting back on alcohol

enjoying the sun safely

keeping active

doing what you can to avoid certain infections (such as HPV or hepatitis)

We go into primary schools to talk to the children about sun awareness and we give every reception aged child in York and surrounding area a sunhat, absolutely free of charge (pictured above). In one recent year, that meant distributing 2,677 hats to five-year-olds at  83 primary schools in what has become an annual sun awareness campaign for us.]]> 2018-03-09 13:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ellieswann1/msobn660b36x/wish/240123913 The five S's of sun safety ellieswann1 https://padlet.com/ellieswann1/msobn660b36x/wish/240129493
