CHIN UP!


you may think the world has come crashing down on you....
think again....

it's not that bad...
if a girl with end stage cancer, with little hope for recovery, can smile and hope for the best.....SO CAN YOU!

GOD BLESS THIS YOUNG LADY - WE ALL HAVE MUCH TO LEARN FROM HER

She hopes one day to be a music composer, so when she was presented the chance, 15-year-old Farah Rosli created a music video (MTV) for her mother in January this year.

Farah, who has stage-four brain cancer, says the video expresses her appreciation of her family’s strong support for her during hard times.

Under the Children’s Cancer Foundation’s (CCF) Wishlink project, CCF tries to fulfill the favourite wish of children with cancer, who have poor prognosis or have had a relapse. The project also seeks to enhance family bonding and create meaningful memories.

Farah was diagnosed with giant cell glioblastoma last June and is not responding to treatment.

When she learnt of the diagnosis, she was shocked and saddened and wondered why this happened, she shares.

“We were told that eight in 10 (patients) will only live for around 12 months. So for her, we just cross our fingers,” he says.

Farah carries hope that she can recover full movement in her body and be a “successful person” in the years to come.

“I don’t want to think about it (the cancer). I just live life as per normal,” she states.

Her advice to others in a similar position: “Smile and be happy, don’t think so much. It doesn’t mean just because you have a sickness, you can’t achieve what you want to do in life.”
