Write a short summary of what happens in the radio advert.

As humans we tend to procrastinate on important things that could have huge impacts on our lives. This holds especially true when it comes to treating the symptoms of cancer. Quite often we leave it until it’s too late. In this radio campaign we bring this insight to life through slice of life examples, that when left ignored, could put us in grave danger, such as a loose wheel nut, a crack in the wall, and a foul odor.

Provide the full radio advert script in English.
