The Canadian Cancer Society has launched their “Dry-Feb” campaign again to raise awareness and funds to combat cancer.
The idea is for casual drinkers to go “dry” for the month of February to improve their health and acknowledge the risks associated with drinking.
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, the more you drink alcohol in any form – the higher your cancer risk. Drinking any type and any amount of alcohol can increase your risk of nine different cancers. Other benefits include a general sense of well being, a clearer head, and a sense of achievement.
To sign up go to DryFeb.ca and register and start looking for sponsors.
Since 2016, Dry Feb has inspired hundreds of thousands of people across the country to go dry and take the challenge, raising over $13M dollars to support people affected by cancer.
