This medal is my goal to achieve on the 6th August 2016. This symbolises the mental emotional and physical struggle that cancer patients endure when they have this awful disease.
CANSA (South Africa) does research in regards to cancer and assists persons suffering from cancer. For the past 13 years I have shaved my head every year to raise funds. This year I have teamed up with our very own Mrs South Africa finalist Maritsa Gouws. Part of her drive to win the Charity Crown for Mrs South Africa is to raise funds for a worthy cause. We chose CANSA. On the 6th August 2016 I will be participating in an event known as The Longest Day. It’s a marathon over 12 hours where a minimum of 60 kms needs to be walked/run. The Longest Day epitomizes the longest day a cancer sufferer experiences awaiting results, or waiting for chemo nausea to leave, or how a family feels watching a loved one lose their dignity. We would like anyone in support of this initiate to Donate a Dollar or the equivalent of a US dollar. https://www.crowdrise.com/fundraiser/edit/donate-a-dollar-for-cansa/alisonengelbecht
