Cancer is one of the most common diseases in the world, and one in five individuals will develop it in their lifetime. In spite of its prevalence, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) states that the global burden of cancer is growing, driven by a lack of services in many countries - an issue that disproportionately affects underserved communities. One WHO survey on universal health coverage shows that only 39% of participating countries cover basic cancer care as part of their core health services, a plight that is partially reflected in Raivo Plavnieks’ struggles.
As a cancer patient himself, Plavnieks is currently combating stage 4 high-grade sarcoma, an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissues. He required immediate chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, but the treatments were unavailable in his home country of Latvia, and he was forced to seek care abroad. Initially unable to afford travel expenses and medical costs, he reached out online and received donations that allowed him to access the care he needed in Spain.
Although Plavnieks continues to require treatment, the experience has motivated him to launch his humanitarian initiative to encourage others to provide monetary aid to cancer patients in his position. As part of the initiative, he created $CANCER, a cryptocurrency that he hopes will become a viable financial alternative for individuals who are unable to rely on insurance or government healthcare to fund their treatment. $CANCER is steadily gaining value as Plavnieks’ story continues to spread globally, and it is growing closer to reaching its billion-dollar market cap goal.
