In 2016, I lost my dear sister, Cynthia Alie, to this dreaded disease, and ever since, I have been driven to contribute to the cause, aiming to provide support to those in the fight. This donation will play a vital role in the society’s efforts towards breast cancer prevention, treatment, and care. I am deeply humbled by the overwhelming support from my customers and friends and I am committed to making this an annual initiative.”
