R.I.P Mary Onyango

The vice chairperson of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) passed away at the Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu, Saturday. 
She was the breast cancer ambassador, having battled with the cancer for 13 years she has been hope to many Kenyans. She founded the Kenyan Breast Health Programme, which has created awareness on breast cancer in the country.
 
“You are not finished when you lose, you are finished when you quit.”
This was her brilliant mantra that will remain among us.
