We leave from Heathrow airport to KENYA in September, if you free then come with us....

I was astonished to watch a video of a young girlsurvive stage four Cancer in London. 

She was diagnosed as stage four and due to advancement in treatments she is still living and highly involved in charity work to help young girls. (www.coppafeel.org).

When are African women going to have these kinds of treatments? I was also amazed when it was stated that approximately 51,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK.

My point is this, if developed countries where proper records are kept are stating such high figures, God help us when we consider what figures will come out of African countries. Scary.

The cost of treatment for cancer is very high, hence so many deaths in Africa. But we can help reduce these deaths by detecting the tumour earlier; hence we do what we do at CCA. It may be hard for now, but we will continue facing the challenges head on.

For two weeks we will be carrying out Breast awareness programs in Kenya from 15^th September to 27^th September 2014. We leave from Heathrow airport, if you will like to meet up and come with us, Great.
