"Due to the current busy lifestyles of people, making donations via mobiles had quickly evolved to become a critical tool for charities to raise much-needed funds. We envisage the same sequence of events to follow suit in Sri Lanka," Jeremy Huxtable, Chief Officer at Dialog Enterprise said. "Money raised by the campaign will fund a new era in availability and accessibility for cancer detection and treatment in Sri Lanka, changing the odds of survival for a multitude of people who were hitherto deprived of such ready access."
