As other children run to school in the morning and play with their friends over the weekend, children with cancer have their focus forcefully shifted to fighting for survival.
In place of jumping around and basically being children, their lives mainly oscillate between being wheeled in stretchers to operating rooms and lying in hospital beds, all in a bid to beat cancer and get back their freedom.
Every year, about 400,000 children and adolescents aged between 0 and 19 years are diagnosed with cancer. In low and middle-income countries, including Kenya, only about 3 out of 10 children diagnosed with cancer are cured.
