Thank You Message from the Founder of CancerStory.com

Dear Voters
We would like to thank all voters who had given us the support in raising awareness of CancerStory.com in the Asian Internet Awards 2001 competition, organized by BusinessOnline & Visa International.
CancerStory.com was awarded the BOL Readers' Choice Award 2001 at the Awards Ceremony held in Hongkong on 29 June 2001.
Without your support in this competition, CancerStory.com, a volunteer's initiative with a mission of hosting a non-profit site providing online help for people living with cancer, would not have had the opportunity to reach out to people living in Asia.

Yours sincerely
Lee Soh Hong

CancerStory.com, Winner of BOL Readers' Choice Award 2001 |
"Despite BusinessOnline magazine's focus on business, business and business, it was a not-for-profit Web site called CancerStory.com that became the surprise package at the first BusinessOnline-Visa Asian Internet Awards announced last Friday night. The votes CancerStory.com received were a triumph of technology for humanity."
