A colour run in aid of 3-year-old little Eliana suffering from Encopresis Bowel (EP)
Organised by #SaveALife, an Eldorado Park-based Non-Profit Organisation, the event was aimed at raising awareness and raising funds for Hattingh's medical journey.
A colour run in aid of Eliana Hattingh, a 3-year-old suffering from Encopresis Bowel (EP) was held at the Eldorado Park Stadium on Saturday, September 7.
According to Stamford Children’s Health; “In most cases, encopresis happens because a child has long-term (chronic) constipation. When a child is constipated, he or she has fewer bowel movements than normal… Then stool becomes backed up (impacted) in the rectum and the large intestine (colon).
Organised by #SaveALife, an Eldorado Park-based Non-Profit Organisation, the event was aimed at raising awareness and raising funds for Hattingh’s medical journey. #SaveALife was started in July this year to assist children suffering from rare diseases. Hattingh is the second child that the organisation has adopted after their first case that of Jade Anderson.
The team, which currently consists of seven members namely; Cindy Green, Ustacia Arendze, Jeneve Birkenstock, Majorie Williams, Joslind Mare, Verlicia Stamboul and Earl Cilliers are committed to ensuring that each child assigned to the organisation receives assistance with a success rate of 100%.
With fun being the priority of the day, the team said that jumping castles were set up so that the children could have fun in the sun. Eldorado Park spinning sensation Stacey-Lee was also present at the event and entertained the crowd with her pink BMW beast.
