Cancer! Is it unBEATABLE?

Hi,

I am emotional and sad today as i have got a bad news that one of my cousin has been diagnosed of having stomach cancer. He is only 25 years old and was just going to join his first job. Life is so uncertain. We don't know whether he will survive or not. Thinking about his parents, i feel very sad. They will loose their only son, if his cancer is not treated. The cost of treatment is going to be in several lacs. I don't know how his father working as simple employee in Allahabad Bank will be able to manage the expenses. This is the time when we all realize the importance of insurance.

Sometimes back, ICICI Prudential launched a product for cancer insurance for the first time in India. This blog is for insurance industry. But, how many Indians really care about having their life insured is a big question.

In this post i will like to name Sean Swarner, who is the first cancer survivor to climb Mount Everest, and who continues to go on adventures that inspire and raise cancer awareness all over the world. Sean is close to becoming only the fifth person in history and the first cancer survivor to accomplish the "Adventure Grand Slam," which consists not only of climbing to the peak of the tallest mountain on each of the earth's seven continents but also trekking to both the North and South Poles (all of this with one working lung). On every peak, he plants a flag bearing the following words: "Dedicated to all those affected by cancer in this small world!! Keep climbing!

Click on http://www.seanswarner.com/ to know more about this great human being.

I have mentioned Sean because he is a big source of inspiration for millions of people all over the world and a leaving example of a man who believes everything is beatable, even CANCER.

Today i promise to all of you, as soon as my company will break-even, i will start one Fund from the money earned through ApnaAdvisor for people suffering from Cancer. Some part of the money that insurance seller will pay to ApnaAdvisor will go to Cancer patients for their treatment.


I know it is beatable, we can beat it like Sean is doing.
