Dr Cecilio Eck has left Belize to seek treatment in the US after being diagnosed with stage four cancer. Since the cancer has spread to different parts of his body, in order to identify what type it is, the origin must be traced. But this is only the first step in a long, arduous battle. It is extremely costly, and as Dr Eck had explained, his fight with COVID depleted most of his insurance. He is now asking the public for assistance, and Melissa Espat, along with his cousin, Venetia Eck, have planned a variety show called "Friends of Dr Shrek." They appeared on Sunup on 7 this morning to talk about the star-studded line up.
The show begins at 7 on Thursday night, but there will be a social hour at 6. There will also be food and drinks on sale. Tickets can be purchased at the Pediatric Center at $30 for general, or $100 for box seats.
