The volleyball community is rallying to support former player Cindy Imbo, recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, by launching a jersey bidding initiative to help cover her chemotherapy costs.
The volleyball community is calling for any form of help for former player Cindy Imbo.
Imbo had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of blood cancer that targets the lymphatic system, compromising the body’s immune defenses.
The 30-year-old’s volleyball journey began at the University of Perpetual Help, where she made a name for herself in the NCAA with her exceptional skills and powerful play.
From there, her career took her to the commercial leagues, where she played for the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers, Sta. Lucia Realtors, and the Philippine Navy in the now-defunct Philippine Superliga (PSL).
After her PSL stint, she joined the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the PVL, continuing to make an impact with her presence on the court.
Following her volleyball career, Imbo chose a path of service, joining the Philippine Coast Guard to help protect her country in a different capacity. Her resilience and commitment to serving others have only deepened the respect her fans and peers have for her.
In light of her recent diagnosis, a jersey bidding initiative has been launched to help cover the costs of Imbo’s chemotherapy treatment.
Fans have already begun bidding on several jerseys, including those of Iris Tolenada, Pauline Gaston, Michelle Cobb, Des Cheng, and Jaja Santiago, among others.
All proceeds from the auction will go directly toward her medical expenses, allowing her volleyball family and fans to rally behind her in this difficult time.
Imbo has faced many challenges as an athlete, but now, with the support of her community, she’s fighting her toughest battle yet.
