Come on ‘Let’s go 2 Kenya’

If you are considering coming with us to Kenya, then this is why we are going.

As I am sure you are aware, the Cancer burden in Africa is a very complicated issue. Many people present to the hospital with late stage disease due to the lack of awareness about symptoms, together with cultural and superstitious misconceptions.

The idea of the Cancel Cancer Africa road show is to improve the knowledge of what signs and symptoms to look out for and to encourage women go to see a doctor if any of these occur. Being able to afford treatment is another huge challenge in Africa, so we work in partnership with the local health authorities to develop ways to fund treatments for any women that we find who needs further investigations or treatment.

Over the two (2) weeks period (15^th to 27^th September, 2014) we will be visiting seven communities in Busia County in Kenya, giving information on Breast cancer and teaching self examinations, carrying out road shows in public places, performing breast examinations and on the final day, hold a grand finale Breast Cancer Awareness event.

Our objective is to reduce the rate of mortality and morbidity caused by Cancer in Africa. So in addition we aim to use these activities as a television series to air regularly in the countries we visit to keep the momentum going till our future visits.

We need your support. If you’re a health worker we would love for you to come with us, if you not we would greatly need your enthusiasm and positive energy during this selfless journey. We have people showing interest from far away India, so why don’t you join us.
