One of the most inspiring people inside the Academy, Pinoy Dream Academy ex-scholar Sen Nichols will be spending his birthday in the midst of some of his biggest fans – cancer survivors just like him.

Sen’s birthday will be on October 21 but he will be having an early celebration this Saturday, October 18 at V Luna Hospital. As a cancer survivor, Sen sees the importance of inspiring others, especially those who are continuously battling against it, and sharing what he has experienced.

“Since I was able to inspire people through my life experiences I'd like to spend part of my birthday helping a foundation that supports kids who are going through what I went through. I would also like to spend my birthday to thank my fans, because without them I wouldn't be where I am today.”

Kythe Foundation is a non-stock, non-profit organization that caters to the psycho-social needs of pediatric patients, especially those with cancer and other chronic illnesses. They are the pioneer of the Child Life Program in the Philippines. A volunteer from Kythe Foundation followed Sen’s story and journey via ABS-CBN and Pinoy Dream Academy and approached PDA asking if he could help.

Sen shared that he was more than willing to volunteer his time and presence and smilingly said that he is excited to spend part of his birthday with the kids, which would definitely make his birthday more special. The special event will be facilitated by Ito Rivera of Kythe Foundation. 

But what does someone like Sen wish for? 

“My Birthday wish this year is that I continue to grow and bloom in showbusiness so that I may have a long fruitful career doing the thing that I love the most.”

Look out for this strong-willed and upcoming singing sensation on ABS-CBN.
