Cave Out Cancer: Finding Light in the Deepest Darkness
Crawling through narrow passages. Wading across underground rivers. Facing complete darkness with nothing but courage and trust.
For 17 participants, including two cancer survivors, Cave Out Cancer was more than an expedition. It became a powerful journey of resilience and solidarity, mirroring the challenges faced by countless individuals living with cancer: moments of fear, perseverance and the unwavering will to find light again.
Held in two phases, the campaign began deep within the Clearwater Revival and Clearwater Connection caves of Sarawak, before continuing to Gua Kota Gelanggi, Pahang. Each descent into the earth’s shadows symbolised the uncertainty and emotional weight of a cancer diagnosis, while every step toward the light represented recovery, strength and renewed hope.


Beyond its physical challenges, Cave Out Cancer united participants, volunteers and supporters nationwide in a single purpose: to illuminate the lives of those battling cancer in silence. Together, they successfully raised vital funds toward the campaign’s RM100,000 goal, providing financial assistance and emotional support for underprivileged patients as they navigate treatment.
What began as an adventure evolved into a movement of compassion; one that reminded everyone that no one fights cancer alone. Every donation, every message of encouragement and every step taken underground became a symbol of collective strength and empathy.
Though the expedition has ended, its spirit continues to echo, inspiring future initiatives that challenge both body and heart and bringing hope where it’s needed most.
At MAKNA, every journey, whether up a mountain or deep within a cave, reflects a single truth: hope can always find its way to the surface.
