Libyan football player Hamdo Al-Huni launched the campaign "Together we fight cancer" to help ease the suffering of cancer patients.
Al-Huni said "I felt that I had another role to play in other fields other than the football field. Some of my fellow players also joined me in my campaign, our goal is to try and make a positive difference in the lives of those facing the disease.
"Perhaps many are not aware that most cancer treatment centers in Libya lack the capabilities and medications, some patients have to check more than one center and travel long distances to get their treatment," Al-Huni posted on Facebook.
The campaign includes several Libyan football players who believe that their role goes beyond the stadium to be next to cancer patients and their families and empower them to fight for their lives, Al-Huni added.
The Libyan midfielder played for the Libyan national football team as well as for Chaves, Santa Clara, and the Tunisian clup Espérance Sportive de Tunis.
