Story

In 2000, as an extremely active 14-year-old who was playing amateur basketball, I thought the persistent pain around my pelvic area and the substantial fatigue I felt after the training sessions were the result of my intensive tempo.

However, after two months of investigations, I was told I had a rare form of bone cancer, Ewing Sarcoma. 

It was a life-altering experience in every way that can be imagined. To put it simply, I spent two of my teenage years shuttling back and forth between home, hospitals and clinics for chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

I was lucky to be cured, and fortunately, today I have no physical impairment or mental health issues caused by Ewing Sarcoma, directly or indirectly.

I know that's not the case for everyone who was affected by this disease. So, I wanted to do something positive. I am composing a music piece to raise money for Cancer Research UK. 

The composition will be dedicated to everyone who fights against cancer. The plan is to make the release before Aug 2021. I will share a link to download the track for free and it will be available on digital music platforms under my artist page, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/7qcqoK0pPO73zwP80Ip0lH?si=N-n5TUN6Q_K_tJMFomwSdQ" target="_blank">The Guv</a>, as well.

If you'd like to support me on this cause and help raise money for Cancer Research UK then feel free to donate whatever you can.
