Among different illnesses, the most dreadful is cancer. The fight with this illness is physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically draining. Anyone who is dealing with this disease requires a lot of strength, courage and positivity to keep going. To honour the courage of those surviving the storm of cancer, World Rose Day is observed annually on September 22. The day focuses on spreading rays of hope and sheer joy to those battling the dreaded disease as well as promoting awareness around the same. Keep reading to know how the day that celebrates the ‘never say die’ spirits of cancer patients came into being.
World Rose Day for cancer patients pays a tribute to the brave and courageous Melinda Rose; a Canadian girl who was diagnosed with an Askin tumour at the age of 12. Realising she did not have much time, she chose to spend whatever time she had cheering other cancer patients and giving a ray of hope, comfort and positivity.
She wrote poems, letters, verses, emails, etc. and shared them with others around her. Her kindness and lively spirit worked as an inspiration for many as well as led to the establishment of World Rose Day.
Melinda went up to live for the next six months battling the deadly disease. With a brave heart and cheerful face, she made each day count by inspiring the lives of others around her.
By now you must have realised that the day was named after Melinda Rose to honour and remember her. Moreover, since the fight against cancer is an exhaustive one, we can all play a little part in making the journey of those fighting a little lighter and brighter. On this day, people share World Rose Day quotes, flowers and greeting cards to warriors to convey their love & support. The day also acts as a reminder on taking care of your overall well-being, spreading awareness about cancer and how early diagnosis helps in recovering fast.
