History of World Rose Day:
World Rose Day is celebrated in memory of 12-year-old child cancer survivor Melinda Rose. Melinda was from Canada and was diagnosed with blood cancer in the year 1994.
Melinda was in the last stage of cancer and the doctors, while answering, had even said that this girl (Melinda Rose) would not live for more than a week or two.
But Melinda proved the doctors wrong with her strong will and she lived her life diligently for 6 months, not a week or two. Melinda touched and influenced the lives of many patients during this period by writing poems, emails, and letters to other patients.
This 12-year-old girl became an example for cancer patients across the world and then in September, Melinda said goodbye to the world. Since then, this day is celebrated every year to encourage cancer victims.
