More than 350,000 Flemish people are living with cancer. To support them and show them they are not alone, extra attention will be paid to solidarity on the Third Thursday of October, the Day Against Cancer. This will be done through small and large gestures, comforting activities, and pampering in hospitals and care organizations.
The yellow ribbon, widely worn and shared on this day, symbolizes support for people with cancer and their environment. It emphasizes that no one has to fight this battle alone.
“"Also let them feel that you are there for them. Wear, just like the employees of the local government of Lennik, the yellow ribbon on Thursday, October 15th, or share it online."
Employees of the Lennik local government encourage everyone to wear the yellow ribbon on Thursday, October 15th, or share it online, to express their support.
