This union scrutinized the WCD campaigns launched in February 2020 by its members all over the world and eventually selected MAHAK as the winner of the 2020 spirit award from among the five finalists. This award has only been received due to your continuous care and patronage.
With the goal of early detection, which will lead to less painful and costly as well as more effective treatment, MAHAK has always strived to raise awareness toward pediatric cancer; to realize this goal, MAHAK has joined UICC’s World Cancer Day campaign since 2016. During these days and due to Coronavirus pandemic that we are all concerned about our health status, we have gotten one step closer to this goal of us whose concern is health and wellbeing.
Now we will get ready for our 2021 campaign with much more motivation. This year also the campaign will be launched with the theme of #IamAndIWill. So, join us once more in February.
We congratulate you on the occasion of this achievement.
What does MAHAK's #hero look like?
Here, at MAHAK, the heroes do not look like the ones in the #stories. Their battlefield also is a different one. MAHAK's #heroes are little but they are fighting a big beast strongly. Yes, MAHAK's heroes are the children who fight for #health every day. We hope that our heroes #win the battle against cancer soon.

A Letter from One of MAHAK Children to his Pain
The text you read below is Amirhossein's letter to his disease. Amirhossein is MAHAK's 13-year-old son.
"Dear pain,
You have chosen a wrong person to come to. You should leave now so that I can live my lovely life. You can't defeat me. On the contrary it is me who can defeat you and throw you to the side of the ring and as soon as you leave I will never let a minute of life be wasted.
I will recover so perfectly that all the doctors will become surprised. I will be able to run, jump and overtake everyone.
I am a successful football player. Many years have passed and I have become a successful person; I smile at you and you can't do anything.
Now you know about your future, so leave me as soon as possible or I will laugh at you instead of smiling."
🔸There are other cancer-stricken children like Amirhossein at MAHAK who spend hard treatment days with the hope for the future and believe that they can be heroes in defeating their disease. Your constant support and contributions lead to the championship of MAHAK children. We appreciate all our supporters and wish health and wellbeing for all our children.

Arasb Ahmadian, the CEO of MAHAK Charity has been nominated as the finalist for the CEO Award by Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) along with two other executives from Australia and Nigeria.
UICC with membership of over 1100 organizations in 170 countries strives to unite and support the cancer community to reduce the global cancer burden, promote greater equity, and to ensure cancer control continues to be a priority in the world health and development agenda. Since 2016, MAHAK as a full member of UICC has put its efforts on promoting this union’s messages and goals in national and regional levels as well as raising awareness in the society about cancer and cancer control.
The CEO award is granted by UICC every two years during the World Cancer Congress (WCC) in recognition of outstanding contributions of a CEO in the field of cancer control. Due to the current pandemic hit, the WCC is called off but the winner will be announced on November 24 during one of the virtual dialogues of UICC.
The finalists were selected according to several factors including candidate’s leadership and concrete positive impact on their organizations, demonstration of resilience and drive in managing the organization, and promoting collaborative spirit in running the organization or development of original strategies.
Undoubtedly, receiving this award from UICC, as a credible organization in the field of cancer control, would be an honor for MAHAK’s ever-expanding family. However, the realization of cancer control around the globe is more valuable since this is the goal of UICC and its member organizations are mobilized for this. MAHAK as the combined pediatric cancer treatment and supportive care center with 29 years of experience wishes the other two candidates lots of success and hopes such kinds of recognitions and awards raise public awareness towards this disease and the expanded challenges service providers are facing in providing quality care in support of cancer patients.

In Observance of World Kindness Day
Kindness is like taking care of a flower! You water your flower; put it in exposure of sunlight, change its soil and you get overjoyed by its being lush…
But once it withers, you get worried and look for a remedy, you ask for help and do whatever you can to have it as fresh and green as it was.
Kindness is treating people with love and caring about their concerns without expecting any compensation.
Kindness is what you do as members of the ever expanding family of MAHAK for cancer-stricken children by contributing so much love, emotion and prayers.
We appreciate your presence.
Happy World Kindness Day
