POLOKWANE – This year shavathon stations will be available at Mall of the North, Platinum Park and Makro. The proceedings at all three stations will start at 09:00 until 15:00.

You can shave or spray your hair as a symbolic gesture to show unity with those affected by cancer as losing one’s hair is a common side-effect of cancer therapy.

Funds raised will go towards providing a unique, integrated service to the public and all people affected by cancer. Cansa care centres offer a wide range of care and support services to those affected by cancer.

These include:

Care and Support to patients, counselling, support groups,
11 Care Homes for patients undergoing treatment away from home,
Cansa Tough Living with Cancer (TLC) support for children and families, including lodging close to hospitals,
Coping with treatment, medical equipment, wigs, stoma, wound care,
Cancer Screening, including mobile health clinics going to rural areas,
Health awareness,
Advocacy, lobbying for affordable medication, and more.
