Yudan's Giving Page

It took me near 16 years to arrive at 2021 to talk about my family crisis when I lost my mum from Breast Cancer on 5th February 2005, then, on 8th April my dad passed away from Colon Cancer post their initial diagnosis as late stage cancers in 2003. On 5th Feb. 2021, I had a “Head Shave” in memory of my parents, especially, my mum, when she lost her hair due to the chemo/radio therapies. I did an online talk on 19th Feb. 2021 organised by the Oxford Chinese Life Science Society to share my virology understanding based on wet lab experience working with human viruses started 17 years ago for fundraising at Cancer Research UK. I wish to get more awareness to the difficult life of Cancer patients and emphasise the importance of continuing support for researchers amongst our current top tasks at the pandemic. Hope there will be fewer and fewer people getting late stage cancer diagnosis whilst still young, and eventually we will Beat Cancer, Together! ---- Donate to my fundraising page and help raise life-saving funds for Cancer Research UK https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/yudans-giving-page ---- Take care and stay safe, always.
