Cancer is not a subject we like to talk about, yet sooner or later most of us are forced to discuss the Big C when a loved one or oneself is afflicted by it.
The GOOD news is that cancer is not that deadly, monstrous disease that randomly kills and destroys peoples’ lives while they suffer helplessly through horrendous regimes of chemical treatment.
It has been known for years that stress, acidity (pH) and poor eating/lifestyle habits are the most common causes/contributing factors to developing any form of cancer as they break down the body’s immune system and thereby create a fertile environment for infections and other diseases to take over.
Today, thanks to the internet and freedom of speech, there is a magnitude of information available about preventative measures that everyone can take to boost the immune system and thus help to combat cancer – and other common illnesses.
Nevertheless, cancer is still causing havoc across the globe and this is where the Cancer Association of South Africa plays such an important role to educate, assist and provide facilities and numerous services for cancer patients and their loved ones.
The West Coast branch of Cansa’s TOKTOKKIE fundraising campaign recruited two well-known Weskussers to assist in this plight. Michelle van der Westhuizen of Langebaan has been appointed as the Chief Toktokkie for the West Coast Region 2 (from Dwarskersbos to Vredenburg) and Lizelle Strydom of Hopefield is the new Toktokkie in that area. They need your help, ideas and assistance to make the West Coast FREE of the Big C . . . and the Big SEA is already one way to help!
Read what they have to say underneath:
* Last year, more than 26 545 people along this region were reached with educational / preventative talks;
* 3 179 people received free cancer screening tests;
* 5 Cansa rooms have been established at old age homes and hospitals to provide care and accommodation for terminal patients;
* Thousands of people were also reached by various displays, educational pamphlets and informative posters.
“Ek is aangestel as ‘n Toktokkie van KANSA – en ek wil regtig ‘n verskil maak in die Weskus se bydrae en fondsinsameling vir KANSA.
Ons is almal deeglik bewus van die groot “K” en baie van ons het al familielede en vriende wat baie naby ons is/was wat Kanker onder lede het of gehad het en Oktober is Borskankerbewustheid-maand!
Hiermee wil ek ‘n beroep doen op ieder en elk wat hierdie inligting lees … sien julle die weg oop om ‘n bydrae te maak aan KANSA sonder dat daar van deur tot deur geloop moet word ? Baie van ons kom eers na 18:00 by die huis en dan raak dit besig … dit is die rede hoekom dit makliker gaan wees as ons dit op die manier kan doen.
As ons net 100 mense kan kry om elk R100.00 by te dra … kan ons maklik R10 000.00 bydra tot KANSA – indien nie meer nie –
Elke sent sal help.
Ongelukkig mag ons nie KANSA se bankbesonderhede op sosiale media adverteer nie.
Diegene wat graag ‘n bydrae wil maak, kan my by mikkiwest13@gmail.com of via “Inbox” kontak en ek sal KANSA se bankbesonderhede vir u stuur.
NB. As u die inbetaling maak, verstrek asb. ook u telefoonnommer met die letter “W” vir WESKUS as verwysing – sodoende kan ons monitor hoeveel ons as “WESKUS” in geheel bygedra het.
Dankie by voorbaat
Weskusgroete ”
