*A SPECIAL APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF NGWO*
*Written by Mrs. Chidinma Emma Ugwu *
My dear brothers, sisters, friends and well-wishers of Ngwo,
Two years ago, on the 2nd of October, 2024, I lost not just a husband, but my best friend, my companion, my support system, and the love of my life, Emma Ugwu to liver cancer.
The pain of his absence remains difficult to put into words. Every day, I carry memories of our beautiful moments, our dreams, our struggles, our laughter, and the life we built together as a family. While nothing can bring him back, I have chosen to turn my pain into a purpose that can help save lives.
Today, I humbly call on the good people of Ngwo and beyond to join me in a cause that is very dear to my heart.
WALK FOR LIVER CANCER AWARENESS
Date: Saturday, 31st October, 2026
Time: 6:30 AM
Take-Off Point: Ebo Ukabi, Etiti Ngwo
Distance: 6 Kilometres
This walk is more than an event; it is a movement to create awareness about liver cancer and other liver-related diseases. It is an opportunity to educate ourselves, encourage early detection, promote healthy living, and remind one another that awareness can save lives.
Many people suffer in silence because they do not know the warning signs or where to seek help. Together, we can change that narrative.
I therefore appeal to every son and daughter of Ngwo, community leaders, youth groups, women associations, friends, families and well-wishers to come out and walk with us.
If you are outside Ngwo, you can still be part of this movement. Join us from wherever you are, wear the awareness T-shirt, take pictures or videos during your walk, and share them with us as we spread this message far and wide.
Let us stand together for health. Let us stand together for awareness. Let us stand together for life.
May Emma's story become a source of hope, knowledge and healing for others.
Walk with me.
Talk with me.
Create awareness with me.
For Emma.
For our families.
For the people we love.
For the lives we can still save.
Ngwo, will you walk with us? 💚💛
