Lavender Week is taking place between 28 February and 6 March 2005 and is organised by The Lavender Trust, an organisation that offers support and advice to young women with breast cancer. The week aims both to raise awareness of the specific concerns faced by younger women diagnosed with breast cancer and to generate funds to enable greater access to Breast Cancer Care's information and support services.
For more information, please contact The Lavender Trust at www.lavendertrust.org.uk.
It is also International Childhood Cancer Day on 15 February 2005. Approximately 250,000 children in the world get cancer each year. The aim of this day is to highlight the fact that because 80 per cent of the world's children live in developing countries, they do not get access to diagnosis and treatment that could prevent 100,000 of them dying.
