Klimb For Kancer 2016 with MAKNA

  • 04/07/2016 - 17/09/2016

Choo Chin Ting is participating in Klimb For Kancer 2016
and is fundraising for Majlis Kanser Nasional

Now, at age 33, I am trying to climb Mount Kinabalu because I do not believe that nothing good came out of my mother’s death.

My Story

At age 2, I lost my mother to breast cancer.
At age 22, I thought that I would eventually die of cancer, and lived in fear of taking risks.
At age 32, I signed up to volunteer with MAKNA and learnt that cancer does not mean death.
Now, at age 33, I am attempting to climb Mount Kinabalu because I do not believe that nothing good came out of my mother’s death.  

My name is Choo Chin Ting, and I am the daughter of a cancer victim.
And yes! I’m doing something that I never thought I would do; attempt to summit Mount Kinabalu, despite my zero experience in hiking, with MAKNA Klimb Kinabalu - Fight Against Cancer campaign.  

Being a part of MAKNA has taught me that cancer can strike anyone, anytime and anywhere BUT it does not mean the end. It got me to thinking that rather than looking at my history as a tragedy, I should instead use it to fight cancer.

MAKNA reaches out to the public in many ways be it pre-cancer, post-cancer, or during cancer, which is why they are constantly raising funds to support these activities. Our group of 15 climbers has pledged to raise RM 100,000 to aid cancer patients with the necessities. I'm taking a small step by targeting to raise RM 5,000, where I have raised RM 2,000 offline. Please help me realize my pledged target of the remaining RM 3,000 by donating. Any amount goes a long way to helping us reach our goal.

I hope that my message here will somehow help you make better life choices.
Don’t let life pass you by just because of fear and ignorance.
Be active, be positive, love life and give.
