For more than 350,000 Flemish people, living with and after cancer is a daily reality. To show them they are not alone, extra efforts are made on the Day against Cancer, the third Thursday of October, through small and large gestures.
This includes comforting words, beneficial activities, and heartwarming treats. On this day, the yellow ribbon will also be widely worn and shared. This way, we show people with cancer and their surroundings that we see them and are there for them.
The message is clear: just like the ribbon, you don't carry cancer alone. Everyone is encouraged to wear the yellow ribbon on Thursday, October 15, or share it online to show that you are there for them.
