Melinda Yeow is participating in GO BOLD, GO BALD
and is fundraising for The National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM)

I am running for a Cancer donation campaign as this is very, very close to my heart. Do support the patients and the survivors, by giving them lots of love, encouragement and your kind donation. Every single ringgit can help to save lives and most importantly, make a difference in someone's life.

My Story

Back in 1998/99, I worked part time in the Oncology Department of Ipoh Specialist Centre in Ipoh Malaysia. The young me at that time has just completed my national exam and awaiting for my results. The short 3 months in that department helped me realise how agonising a journey can be for a cancer patient.

They lose their hair not due to cancer but the treatment that they were undergoing. I have seen patients with bad water retention until water drips from their pores. I have seen patients with half a breast removed. I have seen patients vomit for days due to the side effects of chemotherapy. I have seen patients skin burnt due to radiotherapy treatments. I have seen crying patients and family members. I have seen expensive treatment fees for cancer patients. Above all, I see their pain, suffering, sadness, worries and fear. The concern on whether they can live another day, or have enough money to continue treatment, or who to take care of their love ones is real.

We can help make a different! Although not entirely removing all woes but at least lessen the financial burden that these cancer patients have. Hence, me and my team is running this campaign to collect donations for the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM) is a not-for-profit organization established in 1966 providing education, care and support services for people affected by cancer. Supporting their mission to ensure that no Malaysian fears cancer by creating an understanding of cancer that leads to prevention and early detection, and by providing the best possible care and support for those affected by cancer.

    When I was younger , I saw how cancer affected my young favourite auntie who then left us. Hope this contribution can offer some small help to those needing it. Respect Melinda and Brenda, you both for being so bold!
