As a finalist for Mr. South Africa 2008, I was a special guest at the prestigious CANSA Valentines Ball hosted at the Alberton Civic Centre on the 14th of February 2008.
This fundraiser for CANSA with over 350 present was a public demonstration of support for the CANSA Association and its cause.
I felt privileged to be present at this event and to meet a number of Cancer survivors. It was also fun to meet some local well known public figures such as local councillors and even the local Member of Parliament.
Although I am passionate about the HIV/AIDS cause, I also recognize the impact that cancer is having on South Africans and others worldwide. Like HIV/AIDS, Cancer sees no creed, colour of socio-economic status, It's up to each one of us to do our little bit towards assisting people who are suffering with cancer.
