THE Sunflower Fund in KZN is appealing to all interested sportsmen and women who will be taking on the aQuelle Midmar Mile, Dusi Canoe Marathon, Cape Town Cycle Tour or Comrades Marathon in 2018, to consider championing their worthy cause by participating in their 2018 Miles4Hope fundraising and awareness campaign.
Sportsmen and women are deeply empathetic to the plight of those with life-threatening blood disorders as they appreciate the fact that they can enjoy outdoor sport.
“Leukaemia patients often spend weeks or months in isolation wards and sport is not an option for them,” said Allison Ekstrand, PR and events specialist for The Sunflower Fund.

All funds raised from the campaign will enable The Sunflower Fund to create awareness as well as educate and recruit more blood stem cell donors to offer the hope of life to patients in need of a life-saving transplant.
Any person or club interested in joining the Miles4Hope 2018 campaign may contact Allison Ekstrand on 031 266 1148 or email allison@sunflowerfund.org.za.
