• 25 August: Another rally for near-drowning victim Tristan in Greenhills
The community’s help is once again needed to raise funds for young Tristan Sellwig. Tristan suffered brain trauma during a near-drowning episode on 9 November 2014.

Tristan underwent a stem-cell transplant in Mumbai in India, which was performed by Dr Alok Sharma. The Tristan Angel Trust is now left with R32 000 and the community is needed once more to help raise funds for Tristan’s next stem-cell transplant through the Rally 4 Tristan at 10am, at 12 Lourie Street in Greenhills. Sponsors for the following are needed: Rolls, soft drinks, boerewors and beer. Those who cannot assist with the items can make cash donations. For more information, contact Tristan’s father, Paul Sellwig on 083 963 2095.
