The Dominica Cancer Society (DCS) has received a financial contribution of $5000 from The Nature Island Communications Corporation (KAIRI FM).
CEO of the company, Frankie ‘Krazy T’ Bellot, presented the cheque to the President of the DCS, Yvonne Alexander, at a presentation ceremony held at the DCS meeting room at Goodwill on Friday.
The donation was made possible from the proceeds of the 3rd Annual Malkase – The Carnival Last Lap held on the forecourt of the Windsor Park Sports Stadium on Saturday, 29th February 2020.
Bellot, who has been battling cancer, said he was very happy to be able to provide a financial contribution to the DCS.
“Kairi FM, Kairi sounds…we help people with cancer; that is my contribution,” he said.
He advised people that they should “stop stressing, stop complaining, life is what it is” since he believes all of that can contribute to cancer.
Bellot said he thanks God every day that he has been able to pay for his treatment.
Meantime, Alexander said the contribution will go towards the DCS Cancer Care fund to further assist persons affected by cancer.
She thanked the society for its contribution.
Alexander went on to say that the cancer society will continue to be a vehicle of hope, health and support for individuals who are affected by cancer.
She also advised individuals to live healthy lifestyles.
“Walk the talk of making healthy lifestyle choices,” Alexander stated. “Exercise; do something physical…do regular screenings so that anyone unfortunately who may be diagnosed will have the opportunity to be detected early, treated and survive.”
She said over the past financial year the society provided over $127,000 in support to individuals.
Mr. Bellot,I applaud your contributions to the Society and urge all those who can follow your steps to make a meaningful contribution to do so. and to just share my same views in respect of your statement “dont stresss or sweat over it, Life is what it is. But the treatment is rather costly. Blessed is the hand giveth. May your business continue to prosper so that you may be a blessing to others.
Ms Alexander you guys are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up. I would also like to see more advocacy and lobbying for greater environmental laws and enforcement in respect to the use of chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, fertilizer etc. The impacts of fuel and motor oils release into the environment. All these things have dangerous carcinogens that linger in the environment for many decades and may by causing problems. Its great to excersize but a clean body also needs a clean environment.
well done krazy bellot .. keepp it up.. this shows u are a good fellar
thank you! it can go a long way
Well done frankie
Again, i need to ask, with all the research that has been done, with testimonials and real life stories that can attest to its effectiveness against cancer, what is the Dominican Cancer Society’s stance of the use of cannabis as a viable natural treatment of cancer? Regardless of whether you are an ex police or a religious woman, i believe it is in society’s best interest to seriously look at cannabis as a defense against Cancer in Dominica. Unless Cancer is just a business here too in Dominica, where doctors, pharmacists, organisations like the Dominica Cancer Society all benefit from the continuation of disease, as they receive funding from international donors, get paid well from high costs of treatment (but not preventative) drugs and medical procedures. We are here playing games with real cures based on fear and personal likes and feelings, while we ignore research and facts. it will be too late when we finally get our act together.
