WOWS Kids Fiji held a three-kilometre Childhood Cancer Awareness Fun Walk at Suva’s Albert Park on Saturday morning.
The event proved to be a success as people turned up in numbers to show their support for children diagnosed with cancer.
According to Colonial War Memorial Hospital’s Paediatric Oncology Unit paediatric registrar Dr Raynold Waisale, there are about 20 to 30 new cases of childhood cancer recorded in Fiji every year.
He said currently, there were nine active cases at CWMH, and three cases at Lautoka Aspen.
