My Story

My name is Qian and I'm pledging to go bald for Jom Botak fundraising. Cancer has always been a cause close to my heart. My father was diagnosed with bladder cancer in year 2014. I have few other close friends whom have their family members suffering from cancer.  I have witnessed their struggle, listened to many heart breaking cancer stories, and also going through one as caregiver. It is hard to rub it off shoulder when I came cross an event like this.

How does shaving contribute directly to helping cancer patient you may ask? For me, it's much more than just monetary support. Every cancer patient will have their own roller coaster ride after being diagnosed with the disease. There are so much more they need to take care other than just tackling the disease - from assessing treatment plan, visiting few doctors for second third fourth opinion, to handling financial problems etc. Shaving head is the thing I can do, the least, to show my support and love towards those in need.

Let me end my write-up by sharing a short story. My father is involved with a cancer community and there was this young cancer patient who just joined in their qi gong classes. When he first started, he was very depressed. None of his family members knew about his disease as he didn't want them to be worried. The only person he could share his thoughts with are his classmates. My father and others keep motivating and also support him by showing their care and love continuously. After spending a few months' time in the community, he feels uplifted, less anxious, and not depressed.  

No man is an island. I hope my little act can tell cancer patients and families that they are not alone. There are so many people out there giving support in their battle.  I do hope you can join me in supporting those in need.

    Cancer can take away a lot of things, but never hope.
