Supporting Cancer Prevention
At Sam Akbay Property Agency, we believe that being part of the community means more than just helping people find their dream homes. It’s also about contributing to causes that make a difference in people’s lives. That’s why we’re proud to be a sponsor of the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), an organization at the forefront of cancer prevention research and public health initiatives.
What is the WCRF?
The World Cancer Research Fund is an international network of cancer prevention charities that has been making strides in the fight against cancer since 1982. With a focus on understanding the links between lifestyle factors—such as diet, physical activity, and body weight—and cancer, the WCRF aims to reduce the global burden of this disease through groundbreaking research and public health campaigns.
Our Commitment: Participating in “Dump the Junk Month”
This year, Sam Akbay Property Agency is excited to be participating in the WCRF’s “Dump the Junk Month,” a campaign encouraging everyone to clear out unhealthy habits and make choices that support long-term health. It’s a great opportunity to not only reassess our own lifestyles but also to engage with our community in promoting healthier living. From reducing junk food consumption to encouraging more physical activity, we’re fully embracing this challenge and having a lot of fun in the process!
Reflecting on Our Involvement: The Festive Santa Run
Our partnership with the WCRF is not new. Last December, we joined the festive Santa Run, a cheerful event that brings together people from all walks of life to run (or walk) for a cause. The sight of hundreds of Santas running through the streets was not just heartwarming—it was a powerful reminder of how collective effort can support vital causes like cancer prevention. It was an experience that filled us with the holiday spirit and a sense of purpose, knowing that our involvement was contributing to life-saving research.
The Impact of WCRF’s Work
The WCRF’s mission to prevent cancer through healthy living resonates deeply with us. Their research has been instrumental in identifying how lifestyle factors can influence cancer risk, and their public health campaigns have reached millions with practical, evidence-based advice. By supporting the WCRF, we’re helping to spread the message that small changes in our daily habits can have a significant impact on our health and well-being.
As Prof. Clare Collins, Laureate Professor in Nutrition and Dietetics, aptly stated, “Being a trusted source of information is priceless for the community. For researchers and health professionals, having access to the information provided in the literature reviews and the policy monitoring tools means the work conducted by World Cancer Research Fund is amplified.”
How You Can Get Involved
We invite you to join us in supporting the World Cancer Research Fund. Whether it’s through participating in events like Dump the Junk Month, making a donation, or simply spreading the word about the importance of cancer prevention, your involvement can make a real difference. Together, we can help create a healthier future for everyone
At Sam Akbay Property Agency, our commitment to the community goes beyond real estate. By sponsoring the World Cancer Research Fund and actively participating in their campaigns, we’re doing our part to support a cause that affects us all. We’re proud to stand alongside the WCRF in the fight against cancer and look forward to continuing our partnership in the years to come.
