The Ikoyi Club 1938's Golf Section was abuzz with activity last Friday as Team 4DCure emerged victorious at the fourth edition of the 'Swing Against Cancer Charity Golf Day.' Organized by the Foundation For Cancer Care, this annual event serves as a crucial platform for raising awareness and funds to combat cancer, bringing together a diverse community of golfers, advocates, and cancer survivors.

Team 4DCure clinched the top spot with an impressive 88-stableford points, outshining their closest competitors, Team Pepsi (83 points) and the defending champions, Team Sacvin (82 points). Beyond the competitive spirit, the tournament's core mission resonated strongly. Chairman of the Foundation, Chumy Nwogu, underscored the event's significance in promoting early detection and the ongoing fight against cancer. "This is a very important tournament for us because it raises awareness about cancer and early detection," Nwogu stated, emphasizing that staying fit and active is vital, especially for survivors, and urging everyone to prioritize regular screenings.

The event also served as a vital reminder of the importance of lifestyle choices in cancer prevention. Nwogu advised attendees to pay attention to their diet, encouraging increased consumption of vegetables and fruits, moderation in red meat intake, and responsible alcohol consumption. The overarching message, echoed by leading advocate Farooq Oreagba, was clear and empowering: "Cancer is not a death sentence." This sentiment, coupled with the call for early detection, aims to dismantle fear and encourage proactive health management within the community. The success of the 'Swing Against Cancer Charity Golf Day' highlights the power of sport and community engagement in driving meaningful change and support for cancer care.

My message is simple; early detection saves lives. I say it every time, go for regular check-ups, cancer is not a death sentence
