'I am the voice of lymphoma' campaign for World Lymphoma Awareness Day
To mark the 11th anniversary of World Lymphoma Awareness Day (WLAD) on 15 September 2014, Be Cancer Aware will yet again be putting lymphoma on the South African map through its 'I am the voice of lymphoma' campaign. Over the last three years, the campaign has teamed up with a number of local organisations and NGOs to spread the word about the signs, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma.
This year, the campaign is doing something different. Instead of profiling the numerous lymphoma survivors and patients across the country, it is speaking out through a video that will be posted on various social network platforms. Campaign ambassadors include '95 World Cup rugby star Chris Rossouw, funny-man Kevin Perkins (otherwise known as Chris Naicker), former SuperSport Presenter, cyclist and philanthropist, Xylon van Eyck and Ilse-Mari Hodgskiss of Big Brother SA fame. Newcomer, EWN sport journalist and Radio 702 presenter, Jean Smyth.
The public is invited to actively participate in this initiative by showing its support for WLAD on the Be Cancer Aware Facebook page and sharing the posts with their friends.
