Selamat Pagi Malaysia, TV1 Interviews Cancer Survivor and MAKNA on World Cancer Day

In the interview, MAKNA's Senior Volunteer, Mr. Jacob Mathews from Banting, talks about his past harrowing struggles with cancer. The support from his family members provided him hope and courage to fight on till he was able to stand tall again, and put the bad experience behind him.

In this video, MAKNA Deputy General Manager, Mr. Vemanna Appannah, the other interviewee for the session speaks about World Cancer Day and MAKNA's programmes lined up for the celebration besides its other present and current projects. 

Today, volunteers like Mr. Jacob and others, spend their time, effort and energy providing comfort to patients, encouraging them to stay strong and go for the necessary treatments in order to have a better chance of recovery.  It is common for cancer patients to find it easier to relate to someone who has had cancer before. This helps in the cultivation of a better overall understanding of cancer and how to deal with the disease.

In conjunction with World Cancer Day (WCD), MAKNA is running a campaign, “#Share Your Story / #Share Your Thoughts” where cancer patients, survivors, caregivers and the public can submit their stories and personal experiences about cancer to MAKNA which will be shared with the online community.

Our sincere hope is these stories, captured on VIDEOS will inspire those who are battling with cancer and strengthen their resolve to continue coping with it. We also want those who are helping patients to tell us their side of the story. 

If you have something useful to share or simply want to tell us what you are doing to support this year’s WCD, you are most welcome to do so. Together, let’s make this campaign a success!
