Help me take a stand against blood cancer
You can read a lot of statistics about the suffering of people with cancer but when you see it firsthand you realize the impact. I saw a friend of mine Tinus slowly fade away and die from Leukaemia.
Tinus was a “larger than life guy”, he was 2.02m tall and weighed in at 125kg, that's right he was a big boy that had to crouch when he came through a standard doorway.
One weekend he felt something strange in his leg and went to see a doctor. They discovered that he had Leukaemia. After battling for years, he sadly passed away.
