Breast cancer affects millions of women every year and 1 in 8 women will hear the words “It’s cancer” in their lifetime. The statistics on the disease are alarming however advances in research give us hope that a cure will be found.Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time to celebrate the fighters, the survivors and those we have sadly lost. Al Jalila Foundation’s annual #PINKtober campaign in partnership with Brest Friends is a month-long celebration of hope and an opportunity to spread the message that ‘breast cancer can be beaten’. #PINKtober aims to raise awareness about breast cancer and early detection and collect funds to support pioneering research to get one step closer to a cure.

Science shows that giving is the secret to living a life that is full of meaning, purpose, and happiness. Altruism is good for the soul. Helping others is good for our happiness and well-being. Giving connects us together and creates stronger, happier communities. Giving, and helping others, makes us feel part of something greater than ourselves and gives meaning to our lives. It is emotionally rewarding to champion a cause that we care deeply about and that has the power to improve lives.

At Al Jalila Foundation my team and I consider it a privilege to be in a position to witness the impact that our healthcare programs have on patients’ lives. Health is the cornerstone to happiness and that is why our A’awen program, that alleviates the financial burden on patients and their families so that they can focus on healing, is very close to our hearts. A’awen transforms lives and there is nothing more humbling, or that gives us greater joy, than playing a small part in that journey.
