Ready, set, shave!
Show your support for cancer survivors on Saturday, 25 February at the annual Shavathon.
POLOKWANE – This year shavathon stations will be available at Mall of the North, Platinum Park and Makro. The proceedings at all three stations will start at 09:00 until 15:00.
You can shave or spray your hair as a symbolic gesture to show unity with those affected by cancer as losing one’s hair is a common side-effect of cancer therapy.
Funds raised will go towards providing a unique, integrated service to the public and all people affected by cancer. Cansa care centres offer a wide range of care and support services to those affected by cancer.
These include:
- Care and Support to patients, counselling, support groups,
- 11 Care Homes for patients undergoing treatment away from home,
- Cansa Tough Living with Cancer (TLC) support for children and families, including lodging close to hospitals,
- Coping with treatment, medical equipment, wigs, stoma, wound care,
- Cancer Screening, including mobile health clinics going to rural areas,
- Health awareness,
- Advocacy, lobbying for affordable medication, and more.
