‎However, the Commission made it clear that its message goes beyond the two colours on display. Confiance News learned from the statement that the NCC recognises the many forms of cancer and the courage of those battling the disease. In addition, the Commission celebrated survivors and paid tribute to those lost to cancer, while standing in support of everyone affected.
