As a cancer patient in my 20's 3 years ago, it was something unexpected as I didn't have family history of colorectal cancer, and I was at the peak of my career. There were many challenges along the fight against cancer, especially being alone in the journey till the National cancer society of Malaysia reached out to me ever since I shared my story on my blog.I was appointed Youth Ambassador for the National Cancer society of Malaysia because of my advocacy for cancer awareness for youths. Having my doctorate in developmental psychology encouraged me to focus on raising cancer awareness with the youth in Malaysia. Furthermore, I wanted to build a support group for young cancer survivors and patients so they do not experience what I did through the support of NCSM. Through the help of the society, we have now grown and will continue to through advocacy, and talks.So, please help me help NCSM to continue the medical services given, emotional support, and various support groups available. Without your support, even I can't continue advocacy in Universities, and events, and my young survivors group won't be around!

My name is Saro and I am a breast cancer survivor. Besides being cancer-free for the past 9 years, one of my achievements in life was being able to go trekking to Annapurna Base Camp in March this year. Never have I thought that hiking will become part of my hobby. When I think about it, I believe hiking has helped me to overcome my battle with cancer. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer at the age of 48. As I was able to diagnosed it earlier, I know I can be saved. Besides hiking, I am an active volunteer at National Cancer Society Malaysia. Join me at Relay For Life Kuala Lumpur 2018 this 28th July at Dataran Petaling Jaya.

At the age of 20 I was diagnosed with stage 3 nasopharyngeal cancer, just as I was starting my first year of medical school I had constant nose bleeds, was falling sick more often, and had lump at the side of my throat, but I kind of brushed them off. By the time I noticed these symptoms, the cancer had spread to both right and left of my lymph nodes along with my neck.I had to undergo 35 sessions of radiation and seven sessions of chemotherapy for two months. This weakened me and made drastic changes in my life for the past few years that I am still getting used to. I lost the ability to do a lot of things, yet with the help and support of many individuals I have been slowly taking steps to be the best version of myself!I beat cancer at the age of 20 and now I am part of National Cancer Society Malaysia's young cancer survivors group and we're looking to raise some funding for the Relay for Life event organised by National Cancer Society of Malaysia! Come join us and help me raise funds towards the fight on cancer!
