Canmates Charity - Seema Jaya Sharma
I was recently invited to attend the press launch of Canmates charity at The House of Commons. This charity is founded by the sensational lady Seema Jaya Sharma. Once we arrived to the committee room after the security checks, we were greeted by a very bubbly and outgoing lady she of course was Seema. Having just a zest for life is amazing after you have battled Cancer. We listened to Seema’s story of how she discovered a lump in her breast by her gorgeous little daughter sitting on her lap and accidentally bumping her breast. She later went to the doctors the next day after speaking to her supporting mother and the doctors diagnose her with breast cancer. Seema has fought hard through rigorous amount of chemo therapy and injections, lumpectomy, mastectomy, lymph nodes removed, losing her hair at one stage and taking tamoxifen tablets for almost four years.
After finally recovering from this battle, her mother had gone to Seema two years later and confided in how hard it was for her to watch her beloved daughter go through so much pain and not being able to tell her. As a patient you don’t really think about how other people around you are going through as they are your support system. That’s how the idea Canmates begun.
Canmates is a charity which is set up to help not only cancer patients but also the friends and family around them who have to be the support system and watch their loved suffer during their battle. It is simply a friend finder service which helps people connect, meet up, go for a coffee, they can talk about it but the most important thing is that the others connected can relate to what each other is going through.
We watched and listened to how local MP’s, music artists, publishers, friends and family went around the room sharing their stories of how they have had a loved one or friend touched with cancer and how they have had to deal with it. Most importantly how fantastic Canmates can be for future generations and human beings as a whole.
The launch finished with us all singing to Seema’s daughter Shanti happy 7th birthday, not bad being in the house of commons as its most definitely a birthday she won’t forget.
I would like to take this chance to thank Seema Jaya Sharma as a beautiful leading lady who regardless of whatever obstacles she has faced, she has the most positive outlook in life and aspires us all to at least have an ounce of her strength.
