Put together by Foundation for Cancer Care, the annual, ‘Swing against Cancer Charity Golf Day’ brings together golfers, advocates, cancer survivors and partners in effort to raise funds for cancer screening, treatment, and awareness.
Chairman of the Foundation, Chumy Nwogu, in his speech emphasised the importance of the tournament in creating awareness in early detection and fight against cancer.
“This is a very important tournament for us because it raises awareness about cancer and early detection. Staying fit and active is important for cancer survivors, and it’s crucial for everyone to get screened. It also helps raise funds for treatment”, Nwogu said.
“We must also pay attention to our diet, we need to eat more vegetables and fruits, reduce red meat intake, and consume alcohol in moderation. These are essential for healthy living and cancer prevention. The key message is that cancer is not a death sentence,” Nwogu added.
Leading advocate Farooq Oreagba, Mr. Steeze, while urging all to take cancer screening serious said, having cancer is not a death sentence while advocating for early detection, saying early detection help saves life. “My message is simple; early detection saves lives. I say it every time, go for regular check-ups, cancer is not a death sentence”.
