To assist her with her medical bills, Hope on the Move, a non-profit organisation on the South Coast, hosted a fund-raising high tea at Margate Hotel last week Saturday for the young woman. Guests enjoyed socialising, relaxing, energising and simply enjoying ‘me time’, while supporting a very worthy cause. It was an afternoon of incredible fun and splendour with comedian Muthu Murugan.

The high tea began with a prayer in remembrance of all those that have gone before, the survivors, the caregivers and for those still battling the illness. Hope on the Move chairman Peroshnee Moodley Naicker told the Herald that, besides assisting Latisha, the purpose of the high tea was to raise awareness of the need to help people with cancer. “Latisha is persevering through her treatment plan. She is a phenomenal woman of strength,” explained Mrs Naicker.
