I get the message but too insensitive for people affected by cancer. You got the wording WRONG

Maybe ‘I want to beat cancer’ would have been a better slogan as it applies to sufferers, researchers, family/ friends of sufferers and those who donate.

The wording is totally wrong and doesn't give the message and meaning of what ICS are saying is behind it. It actually shocked me when I first saw it driving past a bus shelter in my area. I thought I misread it and then saw it again and couldn't believe what I saw. Definitely not considerate of the affects this has on the victims & survivors and their families and most people really that are in some way have been affected by this dreadful disease. We all want to stop cancer but this certainly needs to be removed and better advertisement replacing it.

I Want to get Cancer!!! How ridiculous. I've already had 6 malignant tumours. Still alive & kicking but nearly crashed the car when I read this on a billboard. It's totally insensitive to people who are/have battled 'getting cancer'
