“We also need to see the orthopedic surgeon and later in the year we have to see his neurologist.”

The family would also like to congratulate the following prize winners;

• First prize: Debbie du Plooy (four-night holiday at San Lameer)

• Second: Jolene du Preez (R500 gift voucher at Beauty on the Go)

• Third: Vassie West (biltong hamper)

• Fourth: Renette Bindemann (hair products from Daphne’s hair salon)

• Fifth: Sarie Hattingh (biltong knife)

“We’re going to do another fund-raiser for him. Anyone that’s interested can follow his Facebook page, Helping Baby Marius,” she said.
