Health: Breast cancer support group to go rural

Posted by Smookiekins On 6/18/2012 09:35:00 AM
Due to distance and financial constraints, breast cancer victims from the rural areas would normally opt for traditional therapies instead of seeking professional medical treatment. In its effort to lend assistance to women and breast cancer patients in the rural areas, Kinabalu Pink Ribbon, a breast cancer support organisation in Sabah, will hold a fund-raising ‘Pink Charity Night’ for the cause.

Kinabalu Pink Ribbon president Lucilla Pang said the objective of the event is to raise funds to purchase a four-wheel-drive vehicle which will be used to travel to the rural areas to conduct regular outreach programmes.

“Cancer strikes anytime in one’s life, regardless of age, but if there is one little thing which can be done to prevent the scourge from making its fatal spread, that will be our own self-awareness of the disease itself,” she said at a courtesy call to Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Luyang chief Chin Tek Ming at his office recently.

The organisers also extended an invite for Chin to attend the charity event which would be held at the Putera Theatre Ballroom in Bukit Padang on July 8.

Meanwhile, Chin said he was pleased to give his support for a good cause in any possible way and expressed belief that most Sabahans would do likewise.
