FILOTIMO CANCER CHAMPIONS
Welcome to our Filotimo Cancer Champions page
This new addition to our project is aimed at identifying those amazing people who in the face of adversity and against all the odd's not only survived but lived to tell their story.
We strongly believe that our ability to be able to reach more people is dependent on the growth of our Cancer Champion Program.
By identifying Cancer Survivors, we are able to contribute positively to the mental and emotional well-being of all cancer sufferers. Together we will Change and impact Lives!
As a Cancer Champion, you will be invited to take part in functions and events and to help reach out to our partners and affiliates. We hope that our Cancer Champions will assist us in growing our partnership base as well as promoting the project with their followers on all social media platforms as well as assisting the project in raising funds.
We invite you to share your story on our Cancer Champion's page. If you are interested please can you forward a one-page summary of your journey and some photographs that we can post on our website to evy@filotimo.org.za
WE ARE DEEPLY HUMBLED AND HONOURED TO BE PART OF YOUR EPIC JOURNEY
