Athlete Ndella Ndong, president of the Diama foundation, dies from breast cancer

Despite her struggle, she leaves behind a powerful message of awareness, early detection, and hope for women facing the disease. A wife, mother, and accomplished athlete, Ndong's life changed in 2021. She chose to share her experience candidly in her film "Diama, destin de mère," transforming her pain into a testimony to encourage other women not to suffer in silence.

Until her final moments, she remained committed to fighting women's cancers through her "Diama" foundation, a platform dedicated to awareness, sharing, and supporting patients. In an interview with Seneweb, she emphasized the importance of self-examination and screening, believing that early detection could save lives. Senegal mourns the loss of a dedicated woman whose fight will continue through her work and foundation.
