I received a newsletter from Retinoblastoma International recently which announced the upcoming World Retinoblastoma Awareness Week. The week runs from May 13 to 19. This is the first time all the retinoblastoma organisations world-wide are getting together to raise the public’s awareness of this eye cancer in children.
Everyone is encouraged to do their bit in promoting RB week. I have informed my local radio station with a view to getting on air to talk about the importance of early diagnosis, what to look for, and the incidence of retinoblastoma all over the world. I’m hoping this will happen, as this station had already asked me to co-host an hour on one of their shows, with the subject being my book, ‘Beyond the Red Door’. I’ve pointed out to them that it would be an opportune time to fit in with retinoblastoma week, as this is a strong theme in my book.
I am keeping my fingers crossed, as I would love to spread the word more about this disease, and join others out there who are doing the same.
Well done all the retinoblastoma organisations in bringing this event to fruition.
