"Cancer is such a cruel and heartbreaking disease.
It affects not just the person fighting it, but also their family, friends, and everyone around them. So many beautiful lives have been lost, and so many people are still battling silently every day. It’s painful to see how much suffering it causes, yet so many continue to fight with incredible strength and courage. Prayers for everyone fighting cancer, everyone who survived it, and every family grieving a loved one lost to it.

Now Alex Ekubo."
