Tuesday, Feb. 4 is World Cancer Day. The annual observation is marked to help raise awareness, educate and celebrate gains made in cancer research and treatment. It's also a day to come together with the goal of helping reduce cancer rates through early prevention and detection.
According to the American Cancer Society, one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetimes. Whether you, a friend or loved one has been affected by the disease, Feb. 4 is a global day of recognizing the journey that is cancer. However you choose to commemorate this important awareness day, these World Cancer Day quotes acknowledge the strength and perseverance that those living with the disease often draw upon, as well as their families and friends.

You can also share one of these encouraging quotes to show your support for someone going through a difficult time or to recognize the accomplishment that comes with ringing the bell.
