3rd Anniversary of the Breast Cancer Club of Hanoi
Last Saturday marked the 3rd anniversary of the Breast Cancer Club (BCC) of the K Hospital in Hanoi, and Chris and I were honored to be there to celebrate with them. Unfortunately my camera had broken the afternoon before so we only had a little pocket camera to record the festivities with. It was a [...]

K Hospital, Hanoi
We (Chris and I) have been meeting with Dr. Linh and Dr. Thuan at the K Hospital in Hanoi this past week. We are working with them on ways to increase the scope of the Breast Cancer Club and ideas for the development of the Bright Future Fund. Yesterday, we spent some time on the [...]

Global Focus on Cancer

Nairobi
This was my third trip to the African continent in 6 months. I had spent a scant 30 hours in Cairo and an all too brief 10 days in Cape Town earlier in the year, but those places were not the Africa I had envisioned as a child. Sitting on the front porch of Jane [...]

Final Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society post
When you first meet Bonnie Kam it is hard to believe that she is 40 years old and has been battling breast cancer for the past 4 years. She looks young, vibrant and healthy. At 36 she underwent surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, yet her cancer continued spreading into her bones. Despite her doctors’ best efforts, [...]
My Father
In early May, my 86 year old father underwent major surgery to repair an aneurysm in his aorta. While the surgery was successful, sadly his recovery was not, and after a very brave and painful battle my father passed away on June 20th. My parents have always encouraged and supported me in every aspect of [...]

Back on Track, I hope…..
First of all, let me begin by apologizing for my lack of posting over the past 3 months. Life and work has literally been taking up every spare second of my time. At the end of January and early February I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania and in late March I used my final British [...]
