The month of October being breast cancer awareness month has paved way for TWI foundation to support another beneficiary pay her final bill for her breast cancer treatment.

This was done through a health walk organized by Twellium industrial company limited, producers of Verna Mineral water with support from Lister hospital and flash mob Ghana on 14th October, 2017.

The programme started with a health walk from Kanda and ended at Azuma Nelson Sports complex.

The team had aerobics after the walk, followed by a breast screening exercise by Lister hospital.

Cecilia Boamah, a breast cancer survivor threw more light on the sickness, using her experience as an example.

Over the years, a lot of women lose their lives through this sickness and Twellium saw the need to help Madam Cecilia Boamah, who has been battling this disease since 2008.

She was so elated to share her joy about the help from Twellium.

“My life came to a halt when I contracted the disease. I didn’t pay attention to it in the early days until it got out of hand but now a light has shone on me," she said.

Her advice is was that early detection saves lives so women should constantly check their breast and avoid things like drinking in excess which is a risk factor.

This is another life touching initiative by Twellium foundation.
