AT the end of the month the uMhlanga promenade will be transformed into a ocean of pink in aid of cancer awareness.

Participants are urged to don their beautiful pink tutus and bright tekkies for the event.

“We wanted to create something that would be totally different and visually amazing on the promenade. The colour pink also represents our organisation,” said Sharon van Straaten of the Pink Phoenix Cancer Foundation.
“Everyone is invited to take part in the event, as we aim to raise as much awareness on cancer as possible,” she added.
The event will also serve as a community project for the Umhlanga Rocks Lifesaving Club. The club will be selling food and drinks at the event.
