Wrap trees in pink for cancer
To buy pink material, contact Amanzimtoti Rotary member, Aneska De Pont on 083-255-2588 or Priscilla on 083-446-7661.
The Rotary Club in Amanzimtoti has once again decided to wrap trees in pink this year.
It invites people to actively participate and support this initiative, which will help raise much-needed funds for Khanya Hospice that offers free palliative nursing care on a daily basis to patients diagnosed with cancer.
People are invited to buy the material from Rotary, which will at the end of the year make the donation to Hospice.
People are encouraged to wrap trees in pink in front of their houses or offices in Toti and surrounding areas.
Shop owners can also drape their windows or pillars, or a section in their shops. Shopping centres can also drape the pillars in their malls.
“To be a cancer survivor is a luxury a lot of people do not have. It does help to be a member of a medical aid and to be supported by your loved ones while you concentrate on getting better,” said Khanya Hospice CEO, Neil McDonald. However, there are many patients who do not have medical aid and little, if any financial support.
Helping those who need it most is the driving force behind the pink tree initiative.
Hospice care is offered for free to the patient, but it is not free for us to provide,” said Neil.
To buy some pink material and help this worthy cause, contact Amanzimtoti Rotary member, Aneska De Pont on 083-255-2588 or Priscilla on 083-446-7661.
Hospice can be contacted on 083-597-8985 or email hospice@scottnet.co.za.
