As someone whose life has been profoundly touched by the shadow of cancer, I know it is a relentless adversary, having claimed the lives of both my beloved parents, each succumbing to different forms of this insidious disease. Their battles were fought with courage and grace, yet they highlight the indiscriminate nature of cancer and its devastating impact on families and communities.
Their journey was a stark reminder of the urgent need for continued research, awareness, and support systems to combat cancer and assist those in its grip. In this spirit, I invite you to participate in our university's Cancer Awareness Day, a beacon of hope and solidarity in the face of this global challenge.
Your generous donations will directly support cancer research and awareness programs that aim to educate, prevent, and ultimately conquer this disease.
Please help me reach my fundraising goal for Relay For Life. It doesn't matter how small the step is; it makes a difference. Not only for those living with cancer now but for those remembering and honouring those we've lost. A donation of $25, $50 or $100 could help make sure a team of researchers has the resources they need to make a life-saving discovery, or a patient has access to support services when they need it most.
Think about the impact we can make together!
