In his welcoming remarks, Dr Hj Muhd Syafiq Bin Abdullah, Director of TBCC emphasised TBCC's commitment to exceptional cancer care and its role as member of Union for International Cancer Control. He reminded us, "every cancer patient has their own unique needs and stories - stories of sorrow, pain, healing, and resilience. It is essential we approach cancer care with empathy, fairness, and personalised treatment."

The day featured a warm-up session, thematic booth, and a competitive 10 km run, followed by prize presentations and a lucky draw. In spite of the weather, the community - patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals - stood united in solidarity.
