Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Surfing and Thriving Through Breast Cancer

As one who has walked with a family on the journey of cancer, one thing is certain, it can be a very emotional journey. This month is a very special one to us as it not only shines the spotlight on better awareness of a deadly disease, but more importantly, helps us reflect and show support for those who have fought the good fight and still conquer cancer daily.

This October we are raising awareness and showing our unrivalled support for our superwomen who against all odds fight this terrific lump. To show solidarity, Afrotherapy is organising a fundraiser and loads of exciting events in the salon whilst wearing our vibrant shades of pink!

Why pink? Pink symbolises hope, optimism and a bold yet innocent sweetness that every woman possesses. Hence, on the 19th and 26th of October, Afrotherapy family in honour and celebration of this cause would be wearing it bold and pink. Our salon will also be decorated as themed to create a celebratory and uplifting environment for our clients.

Throughout the day, every tip received would be donated towards Breast Cancer awareness, research and patient care. Hence, by simply visiting the salon, you are making a significant impact!

We will also be giving out ribbons and having a bake sale!

Why Should You Participate?

Breast cancer is the most common cancer form in women worldwide and a reality that touches too many lives. In simple statistics, the United Nations says every minute 4 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 1 in every 4 women die.

Worse still, breast cancer cases globally are projected to increase by 38% in 2050. Hence, the need to push for impact in awareness, treatment, research and support for women affected by the disease.

By being a part of Afrotherapy’s awareness fundraiser, you show support and solidarity to warriors, in and outside the ring. You contribute to life-saving research and support programs for survivors and warriors and help in the spread of vital information that aids early detection of the disease.
