Thank you. As an individual, I believe it may have an impact, although it’s challenging to gauge the extent of it. Some individuals have publicly stated that my cancer journey has transformed their lives and provided them with a sense of purpose, which has been incredibly humbling. However, striking the right balance between sharing aesthetically pleasing content and discussing a cancer narrative is complex. Similar to real-life interactions, many individuals tend to shy away from the topic due to its distressing nature.

I am of the opinion that a more effective approach to raising awareness and providing support to both warriors and caregivers involves creating a centralized platform for all cancer-related resources. This platform could resemble what you've already established with the Tutti Frutti Women initiative, with additional features such as an anonymous chat room for sharing experiences and a bulletin board categorized by cancer type, of which there are 200. Developing a marketing strategy that is engaging or incentivizing in some way could help attract individuals to the platform. It would be beneficial to conduct some testing to determine the most effective approach.

I strongly believe in the importance of communities collaborating and thinking outside the box. Engaging with industry groups, unions, hobbyist communities, and other organizations could provide exposure to potentially millions of individuals.
