Meet Armina and Justine

Upon conception of this blog, I have received numerous comments and stories of the lives of parents and children afflicted with cancer. I will be posting such articles once in awhile to share such information that Cancer Warriors Foundation (CWF) have been gathering. Some will be tragic and some stories will be that of success and hope. This is the simple truth that everyone should be aware of...

ARMINA
In one of CWF's weekly meetings last year with its beneficiaries, the foundation met Armina, a 16 year-old adolescent girl, and her grandmother, who is a caregiver. Armina was diagnosed with Leukemia. CWF has been supporting her with her monthly chemotherapy needs.

A few weeks ago, Armina was found on the floor covered with blood in a ward where she was supposed to be having her blood transfusion. CWF saw her the week before this tragedy. She exhibited a strong spirit. She was bubbly and smiling.

The Medical Director of the said hospital visited the wake and her query to the family was ".... where or to whom they will donate the casket...."

This is a reality. A lot of children with cancer are dying and are not being properly cared for. Let's bike for life to commemorate the lives we have lost... to remember the lives we helped to save... to renew the commitment to the fight to save kids from cancer!

JUSTINE
Mr. Paradilla, one of the fathers who will Bike for Life to sustain the medical needs of his kid, called earlier from Batangas Regional Hospital very distraught and angry because the nurse transfused the wrong blood type to Justine!

Let's pray that Justine survives this challenge. Let's hope her 3 year-old body recovers with no long term effects. Let's BIKE FOR LIFE for Justine and the 30 plus Batangueno kids with cancer that the foundation is supporting...
