Greetings and blessings, my dear beloved family, friends, colleagues, and well-wishers!
My heart is overflowing with gratitude to Almighty God and to each and every one of you for your beautiful birthday wishes, heartfelt prayers, thoughtful gifts, and overwhelming expressions of love as I celebrated another year of God’s abundant grace and faithfulness. I am truly blessed and deeply grateful! β€οΈππ½
This year, I chose to celebrate my birthday by Giving the Gift of Health through the Sir G.L.I. Opiepe Health & Education Foundation, supporting cancer awareness, prevention, early detection, and screening for underserved communities across the United States and Africa.
I am also deeply grateful for the invaluable collaboration and support of Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), Jos, Plateau State, and Sacred Heart Catholic Hospital, Obudu, Cross River State, Nigeria, in our recent prostate cancer awareness and screening initiatives in September 2026 .
Here in the United States, in the DallasβFort Worth Metroplex, I am equally grateful for the opportunity to work with UT Southwestern Moncrief Cancer Institute to promote cancer awareness and connect eligible individuals with screening opportunities.
Together, through these collaborative efforts, we are working to expand access to cancer education, early detection, and potentially lifesaving screening services in underserved communities across the United States and Africa.
On behalf of my Foundation and myself, I sincerely thank everyone who has generously contributed to this meaningful cause, as well as all who have supported us through prayers, encouragement, and goodwill.
Your kindness and generosity will help support potentially lifesaving cancer screenings, offering individuals opportunities for early detection, timely medical intervention, and the precious gift of more years of life.
