About Us

Born from Survival, Built for Hope

Cormode Cancer Foundation was born from one woman's journey through cancer and her determination to ensure no Nigerian faces it alone.

Founded by Dr. Denise Ejoh, a cancer survivor turned advocate, the foundation has grown from her personal story into a movement reaching thousands across Nigeria. We do not just support people through cancer, we raise champions who spread hope in their communities.

“My cancer journey taught me that survival is just the beginning. True victory comes when we transform pain into purpose.”Dr. Denise Ejoh, Founder
