Op vanjaar se Wêreld Kankerdag (4 Februarie) voeg KANSA hul stem by die volgende boodskap wat die wêreldwye gemeenskap uitdra: wie jy ook al is – familie, vriend, kollega, kankeroorwinnaar, leier, gesondheidswerker, student, werknemer of werkgewer – jy beskik oor die vermoë om aktief saam te werk om ‘n kankervrye wêreld te skep. Die doel van die uitdaging aan almal is: ‘begin waar jy is, gebruik wat jy het en doen wat jy kan’ om ‘n verskil te maak in die stryd teen kanker. Vra jouself af: ‘Wie is ek?’ en “Wat kan ek doen?” Streef daarna om bewustheid van kanker te verhoog en om die risiko van kanker vir jou persoonlik en vir jou gemeenskap te verlaag.

Kicking off at 15h00, the 5 km fun run dares the city’s bravest males to strip down to Purple Speedos and run through the streets in the name of raising awareness of male cancers and the importance of screening. Funds raised will benefit CANSA and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. This year, the Run will take place only at Zoo Lake Sports Club in Parkwood, Johannesburg, where the first Hollard Daredevil Run took place nine years ago.
