RFL launched in carnival style
The launch gave survivors, Relayers and caregivers a chance to register and sign up for this amazing event. It was also an information session to explain more about what is going to happen on the day and why the Relay takes place.
The CANSA Relay For Life Mbombela’s Carnival of Hope event was launched at Emnotweni on Monday February 17.
Moving videos of cancer survivors and CANSA research were played to give those present an idea of the work that goes on behind the scenes at CANSA. Christelle Strauss, Global Hero of Hope 2019/20, gave an inspirational message, reminding us to smile with her reference to the song that helped her through her journey.

CANSA Mbombela also announced an incredible partnership with Discovery at this year’s Relay For Life event. Discovery will be providing free screening tests at the event, because “prevention is better than cure”.
“CANSA Relay For Life creates a space where people from all walks of life can come together to show their commitment to create awareness about cancer,” said Riaan Loubser, CANSA vice-chairperson.
Fun carnival snacks were available to all who attended, and the venue was bathed in a cloud of purple light.
CANSA Relay For Life Mbombela will be hosted on Friday March 13 and promises to be an experience to be remembered.
