This handsome young man consented to relate his story – Richard comes from the North of Uganda and struggled to travel south to Kampala for treatment, a day’s journey away. He is one of many young people who have seen great suffering across the North, following the atrocities of the LRA war, but he has the bravery and the ‘spirit’ to keep fighting to get something better for his life.
Richard had a large cancer of the tonsils (Kaposis sarcoma) which prevented him from being able to swallow, but now he has put on weight and is proudly showing that everything is clear after sponsored chemotherapy.
