She stood alone, her mother lost to the Cancer.

All across the motu, lives were
being lost to the silent assassin.

The tragedy, she knew,
was the deaths could now be prevented, and the Cancer defeated forever.

All it would take is for the Leaders to act.

The end was in sight but she knew she could not reach it alone.

She called out to the land:

“Who will help me?
Who will help end this Cancer?”

There was silence.
