Cancer Research UK: #ActNowForResearch

As a blogger, my aim is to find and test out new things, share my experiences and spread a little joy to other likeminded souls. If I can inspire someone to head away from the beaten track of habit and try something new then I can pat myself on the back for a job well done.

However, as peachy as the things and places that I blog about are, life isn't always a bed of roses. Cancer is one of the uncompromising, unrelenting and unfair evils of our world. Without caring who a person is or what they have done, cancer will strike any target it fancies and cruelly snatch away many beautiful souls from the world. Many people will have experienced cancer in some form, whether being a victim of the disease itself or having supported family and/or friends in battling it. However, out of darkness comes light and as horrific as cancer is we can find one merit in it. When it comes to cancer, there are no divisions. There is no required race, colour, creed or class. The universal suffering inspires people from all walks of life to unite in rising against it.

Cancer Research UK has just created an #ActNowForResearch generator. Through this, people can not only support cancer victims, but actually do something to help beat cancer sooner. This fun new campaign offers immediate suggestions and challenges which help support Cancer Research UK. This could be anything from uploading a selfie with #ActNowForResearch on your hand (see mine below), signing up to Race for Life, or taking an item of clothing into one of Cancer Research UK’s shops. Big or small, we are encouraging people to share their actions across social media. The more attention us bloggers, tweeters, facebookers, instagrammers and all other types of social media maniacs give to cancer research, the more people will be inspired to actually do something towards the vital research needed to help beat cancer.

Simply follow this link: http://www.actnowforresearch.com/ and hit the 'Do' button.

Whatever action it is, big or small, join together with cancer victims world over and help do that little something toward Cancer Research UK.
