A new exhibition at the Hospital de Alta Resolución in Estepona showcases the inspiring stories of cancer patients and survivors from the area. Launched on November 9, this initiative is organized by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) and features images from their Solidarity Calendar 2027, running for a month.
Each photograph presented tells the personal journey of those affected by cancer, accompanied by testimonies that aim to foster understanding and reduce stigma within the community. Julia Crespo Conde, head of the AECC in Estepona, expressed her hope that the exhibition will offer encouragement and remind visitors that they are not alone in their struggles.
Hospital manager Aurora Lopez Montes emphasized that the exhibition represents more than just photographs; it embodies a message of life, courage, and hope. The portraits were taken by photographer Ana Sedeno. The AECC continues to provide vital support services, having assisted 177 individuals with various interventions and sessions this year alone.
For those seeking support, the AECC office is located at Calle Terraza 170, and they can be contacted via the free number 900 100 036 or through email at estepona@contraelcancer.es. The services provided include home assistance, companionship from volunteers, and workshops focused on enhancing quality of life. Both residents and visitors are encouraged to visit the hospital to view this impactful exhibition.
