September 24: What holiday is today, traditions and prohibitions.

Today, September 24, is celebrated as World Cancer Research Day and International Caravan Driver Day. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of cancer research and supporting scientific efforts in this field. The goal of this day is to raise awareness about the importance of cancer research, support scientific research and innovations, attract funding for research projects, and inform the public about the latest achievements in this field.

International Caravan Driver Day is celebrated to honor the role of caravan leaders and participants in transport columns and ship caravans. The holiday was established in 1995 to recognize the importance of these professionals in ensuring the efficiency of freight transport.
