MOSSEL BAY NEWS - “It’s time to get loud in colour and give hope by planning for the Cansa Shavathon 2018,” urges the Cancer Association of South Africa.
Cansa’s annual Shavathon has become the darling of South Africa’s fundraising events in support of a worthy cause.
It will be held for the 15th consecutive time in Langeberg Mall, at the Hartenbos Seefront and Mosselbaai Mall on 24 February and at workplaces from 26 February to 2 March.
Not only has the shaving or spraying of heads become a symbolic gesture in support of cancer patients and cancer survivors, it continues to ease the strain experienced by patients who lose their hair while undergoing treatment.
Solidarity for cancer patients and survivors can be shown by adults giving R50 and children under the age of 12 years, R25 as a donation.
“All funds raised help Cansa to continue delivering our care and support programmes.
"We also provide educational materials with information on how to lower the cancer risk and help provide access to early detection of cancer.
"Our Cansa Care Centres offer support in many forms to cancer patients, their families and anyone who wants to know more about the disease,” Cansa stated in a press release.
