The PinkDrive truck took a turn at Supa Quick in Fishers’ Hill, recently.
Supa Quick invited PinkDrive to the area to educate and create awareness about cancer.
Community members were invited to have either a breast or prostate cancer screening.
“Cancer screenings are very important, we just wanted to give the community the opportunity to have theirs in the comfort of their area,” said the owner of Supa Quick Fishers’ Hill, Kerry Albertyn.
“This is also a way of giving back to the community.”
Tebogo Lekgoane, a nurse at PinkDrive emphasised the importance of screening.
“People should come for screenings on a regular basis because early detection saves lives,” said Lekgoane.
“We also teach people how to examine themselves.”
Community members and employees took time out of their schedules to get themselves checked.
Primrose resident, Maria Olivier, loves the initiative and said; “This is a good idea. When I read the GCN and discovered that the truck will be around, I was happy and committed to coming for a screening.
“This is a great initiative, keep it up.”
Albertyn said he is in full support of the initiative.
“This is one of the best initiatives I have ever been involved in,” he said.
“If we can save one life, we have achieved.”
The staff at Supa Quick Fishers’ Hill wore pink golf shirts in support of the cause.
