Former national women's volleyball team star Janet Wanja, whose powerful sets thrilled fans for over a decade, lost her battle with gallbladder cancer at her Nairobi home while receiving palliative care last month.
The celebrated setter's diagnosis came shortly after representing Kenya at the 2024 Paris Olympics, when she began experiencing severe abdominal pains that led her to seek medical attention.
Despite immediate treatment, doctors discovered she was already battling Stage 4 gallbladder cancer.
Her fight with the aggressive disease lasted just four months.
