Founder’s Story: A Journey of Courage, Resilience, and Passion

At the heart of the Rise Above Cancer Foundation is an extraordinary story of courage, resilience, and unyielding determination. The foundation’s founder, Chengetai Nyamande, is not just a two-time cancer survivor, she is a beacon of hope for millions of cancer patients and their families worldwide.

Chengetai’s battle with cancer began when she was just 16 years old, an age where most teenagers are focused on friendships, studies, and dreaming of their future. At this tender age, she received the life-altering diagnosis of advanced nasopharyngeal cancer, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Instead of enjoying the typical milestones of youth, Chengetai faced the unimaginable challenges of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and the emotional toll of battling a life-threatening disease. She spent her days in hospital rooms, enduring treatments that drained her body but never her spirit.
