Imagine waking up every morning and getting your kids ready for school in pain.

Imagine waking up every morning and getting your kids ready for school in pain.

Imagine carrying a bleeding breast all day and night. Imagine waking up every morning and getting your kids ready for school in pain. Imagine having your husband deserting you because you have been stigmatized as an evil woman for having a well-developed cancerous tumour. 

With all these, Olivia (Mrs) must go to her local market to sell her dried fish ‘Cray fish’ to have any chance of feeding herself or her family everyday seven days a week. The tears she cries everyday are not how she is going to get well, but what would happen to her kids when she is no more.

I met Olivia while carrying out our community Breast Cancer Awareness program last year in rural Nigeria. On first glance she looked really happy and was doing everything she could to sell her fish and not allow customers to walk away knowing her pain. We were shocked after checking her, knowing the pains she must be going through.

The saddest part for us was that we could not do anything for Olivia, but to refer her to the hospital and did our best to get support for her treatment. There are thousands of women like Olivia in Africa. Many are walking around with stage three or four Cancerous tumours.

But there is hope. We are determined to keep raising awareness of early detection of cancerous lumps, while we work towards our long-term aim of having one advance oncology unit in each of the four countries we visit each year. 

We can only do this through your partnership and support. Our next journey starts on the 27^th of July at the London Hyde Park fund raising Picnic towards our trip to Kenya in September.

We are inviting you to join us on Sunday from 2pm to help us raise funds. If you cannot make it, please do a collection at work and send it to us. Cancel Cancer Africa is organised by Good For Africa CIC registered in the UK, keep praying for us. We need your donations.
