The EngieMokhtar Foundation improves the lives of Stage IV, Metastatic Breast Cancer patients and their families through charitable acts of kindness that support their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being while raising public awareness about STAGE IV, Metastatic Breast Cancer.
The EngieMokhtar Foundation was created in memory of Engie Mokhtar by her mother. Engie was a lively, happy and a true giver who died of cancer. She wanted to live, enjoy her friends and family, and wanted one think the most: for no one to suffer from cancer like she did. There is no cure, and not enough attention is given to Stage IV.
The Foundation will fight until the cure is found, or at least until Stage IV is moved from terminal to chronic through research so, men and women can live longer and enjoy a decent quality of life.
