Speaking on behalf of Bettie Bandana, Isabel le Roux said the organisation was founded by Retha van Greunen to give hope, encouragement and support to cancer patients and their families.
“The organisation has been working for six years, raising funds and helping with awareness and health checks. We have a few partnerships to provide breast examinations and other support services. Today we celebrate cancer survivors and also raise funds,” Le Roux said.
From Del Forno, Olga De Jesus shared an encouraging message, saying: “You are stronger than you think,” aimed at inspiring patients and survivors.
De Jesus also added: “We thank each and every one of you for being with us. Your love and support are truly appreciated.”
