National Cancer Rose Day
National Cancer Rose Day is observed by various cancer support groups in India
on the 22nd September. I have read somewhere that it is observed in memory of
Melinda Rose, a young woman who died of a rare form of cancer in 1996, at the age of 15.
I looked into Melinda's
home page. The thing that I found very impressive in her page is her gentle insistence
that she be known to others... as a real person and not just as a girl with cancer.
