Cansa celebrates its survivors

- Ciska Smit

MBOMBELA - Cansa hosted a special celebrator­y Survivors’ Tea to honour cancer survivors last week.

Due to Covid-19, the organisati­on was unable to host its annual Relay for Life event in its original format, but the organisati­on still decided to host 40 survivors for a morning breakfast and tea, with music by local artist Natascha C.

The event was held on March 24 at Southern Sun Emnotweni.

The overarchin­g message of Relay for Life is “remember, celebrate, fight back”. Candles were lit to remember those who succumbed to cancer and to celebrate those who are still in the fight to give them hope.

A candle was also lit for Nelspruit resident Barbara Dempsey who had lost her fight against cancer on March 17.
