On Tuesday, we organized our first-ever international patient advocate panel discussion. We were pleased to invite 5 panelists to speak during this meeting, namely Ms Lillian Leigh (Australia), Ms Shani Shilo (Israel), Dr Prakaitip Susilparat (Thailand), Mr Francis Goh (Singapore) and Dr Daniel Tan (Singapore). The panelist shared their advocacy journey, what motivated them, and what challenges they faced during their advocacy journey. They also shared how we should come together to build Asian lung cancer advocacy with urgency and intention. Dr Daniel Tan then gave his input about how we should move forward from here and what's next in the Asian advocacy space.

Last Sunday, we organised the 'Light the Way' walk for our local and international patient advocates and their supporters. While the lighted white ribbons lit the way for each other during the walk itself, it also represents how everyone needs to support each other through the cancer journey. We ended the walk by forming a large white ribbon together, symbolising unity in lung cancer care.
