First Dedicated Breast Cancer Hospital in Pakistan Appeal Every year 40,000 women die from breast cancer in Pakistan and approximately 90,000 new cases are diagnosed.

Story

1 person gets diagnosed with breast cancer every 10 minutes.

1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some stage.

81% of breast cancer sufferers are over 50

And now to top it all off breast cancer is for some reason  considered a taboo subject in Pakistan? 

...For sisters in Pakistan....seems like they almost don't stand a chance, doesn't it?

Can you believe it? Breast cancer is actually considered a taboo subject in Pakistan. People turn away from the issue, or become hush hush when the matter is brought up. Well, why should we stand for that?

If you are of Pakistani heritage, almost guaranteed you must have an aunty, sister, mother, or other female acquaintance residing in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi etc. So shouldn't we do our bit to protect our muslim sisters, mothers, etc as best we can?

Join me to raise funds towards building a new hospital dedicated towards fighting breast cancer. Your donation, no matter how small, could save a life. Remember 1 person gets diagnosed with breast cancer every 10 minutes. The next one, could be someone you know.
