Cancer survivor helps charity

FERNDALE – Cancer survivor and model raises funds for her treatments.


Cancer survivor, model and reality TV show runner-up, Jaylene Guest is making waves.

The Ferndale resident won runner-up in the Apprentesses South Africa Ster-Status charity title last year.

“We have a lot of projects that run throughout the year,” Guest said, referring to her partnership with the Fabulous Girl Charity Foundation.

“Our big one was at Eagle’s Shelter in March and there are plenty more.”

“I started my treatment [again] and doing fundraising to be able to afford co-payments for my treatment. Besides crowdfunding, I will also take on events and projects. I will be auctioning off a table from Custom Creations each month. My friend will be hosting a ‘Vasbyt’ fitness competition for me.”
