Cansa has been a leader in the fight against cancer in SA since 1931 and its vision is to lead South Africa toward a cancer-free society by enabling research, educating the public, and advocating for and supporting all people affected by cancer.

A portion of each entry fee will go to Cansa, helping fund life-changing research, early detection programmes, and patient support services.

Rosebank Mall’s Mikala Potgieter said, “We are pleased to see an increase in attendance. Last year 1 000 participants entered and we hope every year more people will participate in the run.”
