Carewell Starnight at the Manila Polo Club - being presented with our own framed copies from celebrity Philippine photographer Wig Tysman's collection of 12 black and white photos of cancer survivors over the years with their "Star" -( the person who lovingly journeyed with them ).
Carewell is a cancer support community founded by Bobbit Suntay (handing us the photos) whose wife, at the peak of her residency training for medicine in Boston -discovered an ovarian cancer that eventually took her life. She was in her 30's.
Today Carewell reaches out far and wide - with a myriad of activities from yoga classes, to painting classes to workshops, sports events, lectures and even financial assistance - making a very significant difference in the lives of many touched by cancer.
Below I am sharing an article written by Ryan, printed in Carewell's magazine.
With Egay Rivera, visiting from Los Angeles CA - a very dear friend since 35 years ago!
Posing again for a more candid version of Wig's photo!
Father is the spitting-image of the son...or the other way around???...Only 30+ years apart.
