September
22 : Rose Day in India
Rose
Day, CPAA’s call to connect with cancer in
a non-medical way was launched on September
22, 1994. A relief moment, CPAA opened cancer
to mass compassion and goodwill. Seventeen
years running, Rose Day has evolved…touched,
moved, inspired Cancer Patients; if just for
a while, lifted them out of an abyss to rekindle
hope in their lives. It has also raised funds
towards CPAA’s long-term goal of ‘Total Management
of Cancer’.
The
concept of Rose Day came from Joan Shenoy
and her faith in the goodness and goodwill
of the common man and the ability to draw
them into a conversation about cancer in a
non-intimidating way. Rose Day has emerged
as that opportunity to channelize compassion
into a sustainable campaign against cancer.”
Nurtured and grown by CPAA's band of committed
volunteers and workers, 22nd September is
today observed as National Cancer Rose Day
in India.
“The
Rose, quintessential symbol of life &
love and all things beautiful became a symbolic
reminder…that life also has its thorns. So
while a rose can’t cure, it helps you endure”,
Joan Shenoy sums up contemplatively.
In
essence Rose Day's objectives are:
To give Cancer patients a relief moment amidst
their gruelling treatment regimen.
Get society to collectively focus on Cancer
as a human condition.
Bring all the stakeholders into a meaningful
interaction through the Rose Day initiative.
Find ways and means to bridge the gaps in
treatment & care.
Raise Funds towards CPAA's Total Management
programme.
