Shot in the arm for cancer patients

Harare Gunhill Lions Club has launched an initiative to raise funds to assist financially struggling cancer patients who cannot access early treatment.

As part of the initiative, the club on Saturday held a fund-raising dinner where over ZWL$4 000 and US$400 was raised.

The club’s first vice-president Absolom Muchandiona told NewsDay that the idea came about following a study which showed that most people were dying of cancers which, if detected early, could be easily be treated.
