AN AWARD-winning headwear brand has used the bravery of a cancer survivor as the inspiration for a fundraising campaign.
Hats and fascinators brand, LinmiR Millinery, is hoping to raise money and awareness for the life-saving work of the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT).
The campaign will be fronted by cancer survivor Diana Kaganda, who hopes that her personal experience will “inspire and instill hope amongst those who are going through the same experience” she was confronted with two years ago.
Kaganda was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in 2012.
She started chemotherapy a week after giving birth to her youngest daughter. She went through five months of intense chemotherapy and radiation therapy and then underwent a bone marrow transplant.
In January 2013, the mother-of-two went into coma twice and spent the beginning of the year in recovery whilst receiving several blood transfusions in order to maintain her health.
Eighteen months on, Kaganda is enjoying life with her two daughters, Eilah, three and and two-year-old Nailah.
She is now actively working with the charity that helped save her life by raising awareness about its good work as well as the disease.....
