Do your bit for charity

Imagine you are at the top of your game with a career just taking off. Imagine you are happily married with wonderful children.

Then imagine your world splintering into tiny pieces and come crashing down on you when you found out you have cancer. Imagine undergoing chemotherapy and suffering from its side effects. Imagine losing your job and your only source of income while you still have to foot the hospital bills and support your family.

Finally, imagine losing all hope because you could not afford to undergo treatment anymore while your family are also suffering trying to make ends meet.

Be glad that you are not in this kind of scenario. Unfortunately, there are many others who are not so lucky. Cancer is no longer 'something' that happens to smokers or those living an unhealthy lifestyle. It is now more common than you think. So, think of all those needy cancer patients who deserve a chance for treatment without worrying about bills.

There is a Charity Food Fair at Mount Miriam Hospital coming up next month. You can either take up a stall to sell food or attend the fair to provide your support. After all, you don't need to fork out large sums of money. All you need to do is either to cook for charity or to buy food for charity. Details:
