Organiser and found of Under His Covering, Carike Pretorius, said it was a day of excitement, fun, music, laughter, treats, jumping castles, puppet shows, clowns, face painting, and giveaways.
A child of courage is one who, against all odds, sickness and disease, still continues to fight.
“We support children with cancer. A child with cancer needs laughter, and joy brings healing, laughter is healing,” she said.
She described the day as a day of hope for the children. Speakers included cancer survivors both young and old.
“Thank you to the people supporting and taking time to listen, provide and assist with Children of Courage.”
Pretorius also hosts Men of Courage and Women of Courage throughout the year to give support to men and women fighting cancer.
