Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer partnered with The Sunflower Fund in support of warriors like Ashton Dry, whose best chance of recovery is a life-saving blood stem cell transplant.
Xolani Hlongwane of The Sunflower Fund, said they had an excellent turnout from the South Coast community. “It was amazing to see how both locals and visitors to the coast arrived and patiently queued from start to finish to register,” he said.
Those who missed the opportunity to register on the day are encouraged to contact The Sunflower Fund at 0800 12 10 82 for assistance and more information.
