Prepare to shave or spray for Cansa

Support the colourful and fun Cansa Shavathon on Saturday.

The countdown to Shavathon 2016 has begun and it’s the opportunity to show cancer survivors, and those affected by cancer, that you care.

In Ballito it’s all happening at the Lifestyle Centre, Ballito Junction mall and in Tongaat at the Vishwaroop temple on Saturday, February 27.

That you are willing to step into their shoes for just a moment by shaving your hair, or to raise awareness of the difficulties they face while fighting cancer, with your bright, funky hairdo, is appreciated.

“Shavathon is a worthy cause. I donated nearly 50cm of my hair, which hopefully could be a made into a wig.”

Eunice said: “I believe it’s important to show anyone suffering from cancer they are not alone – that we may not understand how they feel but just to let them know that we are there whenever they need help, we are here for them – no matter what.”
