Each year, approximately 14 million people around the globe are diagnosed with cancer. About a third of cancer deaths can be prevented, which is why cancer awareness is so important. Different types of cancers are honored throughout the year so you can be aware of when each cancer awareness month is and which colored ribbon is used to represent it. We’ve compiled all current cancer awareness months and their appropriate ribbon colors into one easy-to-use chart. Cancer is a disease that can affect anyone at any time, and our infographic helps to spread awareness so that other people can be aware of the signs, symptoms, and risk factors for cancer. Awareness saves lives! View the full infographic at http://www.wheelsforwishes.org/cancer-awareness-ribbons/.
