Pub to Pub walk for cancer survivor Adriaan Booysen
His medical bill is running at over R3-m
A Pub to Pub charity dash will be held for cancer patient Adriaan Booysen, on Saturday, July 25, from Prime Time 2, situated at 58 James Wright Avenue, Norkem Park, next to the Norkem Park Police Station.
The walk will take place from 9.30am to 3pm.
Booysen was diagnosed with T-cell or Lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia (known as TALL) and has undergone various surgeries, as well as a bone marrow transplant, in February, this year.
The community is encouraged to come along and to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
The 22-year-old has been in hospital for more than 110 days, from May 2014 to March 2015, and has undergone treatment for over 400 days.
His mother, Hester Booysen, said Adriaan is on the road to recovery, but is still seeing the doctor on a two-month basis and will still be taking tablets for the next year and a half.
“He is in remission now; it has been a hard, long road, but now we all just want him to get better,” she added.
”His medical bill is running at over R3 000 000.
”We would like to thank everyone who has helped so far with contributions and prayers, and we would really appreciate any help possible and for people to come and enjoy the day with us.”
The Pub to Pub is hosted by Prime Time 2.
