Residents show their colours at La Lucia Shavathon
The Shavathon was a fundraiser for the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).
RESIDENTS and volunteers showed their solidarity for cancer survivors on Saturday at the Cancer Association of South Africa’s (CANSA) annual Shavathon at La Lucia Mall.
For the past two weeks, several fundraising Shavathons have taken place at various shopping centres across the province for CANSA.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Shavathon is one of the highlights on the CANSA calendar, bringing families, friends and colleagues together in solidarity with cancer survivors.
Natasha Brown, CANSA’s KZN sustainability coordinator, said she has been blown away by the support shown by the KZN community.
“Out of all the provinces, KwaZulu-Natal, and indeed Durban, showed incredible support for this wonderful initiative. Aside from spraying their hair, we had several residents donate their ponytails to make a wig for a cancer patient. I’m just ecstatic with the turnout and the love shown by people at La Lucia Mall and across the province,” Brown said.
