I AM A CANCER WARRIOR (ICW)
I am a Cancer Warrior (ICW)
Fighting cancer is a daunting process for both patients and their loved ones. It is an emotional and physical battle involving much patience, courage and hope.
Coined “I am a Cancer Warrior”, CanHOPE’s campaign seeks to celebrate the warrior in us when it comes to overcoming cancer. Like any warrior, our cancer patients strive to win over their enemies with bravery, strength, honour and a fighting spirit. It is hoped that the campaign can help to motivate our patients and their loved ones as they face and fight the illness they are facing.
“Draw for Courage” is our core theme for the campaign. It highlights the importance of resilience in tough times.
The general public are invited to draw on paper their interpretation of a cancer warrior to motivate and encourage our patients and caregivers, giving them the strength and support to move on with treatment and their daily life.
Share your thoughts or write an inspiring message. It can also be a piece to thank loved ones for the support and strength or encouragement to a patient or someone who is facing difficult moments.
Donate your art piece to the patients or bring it home and share it with your family and friends.

Wall of Hope
IN MEMORY OF she touched our lives with her kindness, and no nonsence personality, she will be and is already greatly missed. Karri Hammond IN MEMORY OF Papa, although you’ve passed on 7 years you are still fondly remembered. You’ve taught me many things eg being brave to drive on the road when I got my driving licence and keeping the family together especially during your last stage of life. The many weekends and days that we spent visiting you at the hospice and nursing home helped to bring our family closer. Appreciating family relationships and a good bonding time for all of us. May you be well and happy. 🌷 Papa Chua CT IN MEMORY OF Testing Archie Andrews IN HONOUR OF You fought hard my dear. You did well! Nicole I’M A SURVIVOR Diagnosed breast cancer in 2010, mastectomy was done, undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy and also oral. Lucky to have so many friends and family members around me, who gave me so much hope and encouragement. Also attended the CanHOPE support group, where we shared experiences during the sharing session. I also assist to set up Line Dancing sessions for cancer patients since 2011 till now. Stay happy and positive. Patricia Tham Lai Kuan IN MEMORY OF Those we have lost IN HONOUR OF All Survivors. Continue the fight! IN HONOUR OF Jamilah A. I’M A SURVIVOR Cancer very disruptive!! Turned my life upside down. From a focused and down-to-earthperson, I became someone lacking in confident, confused and full of emotions. I hated theword “Strong”. “Be strong”, “Stay strong”, “You are strong”, “Thought you are strong”, blah,blah…. Never an easy journey!!But when you trust, submit and be a true slave to the only ONE, things will get easier. Seekhelp. Make authentic decision for yourself and no one else. Never give up HOPE!! Rose
