Help the CANSA TLC department put smiles on the faces of young cancer patients and their siblings this festive season.

While many of us celebrate surrounded by loved ones, some children will spend this special time in hospital or away from home.

Join the CANSA TLC Tiny Lives Cherished Campaign by purchasing and wrapping an age-appropriate gift for a boy or girl. Your thoughtful donation will bring smiles, comfort and joy to a child who deserves to feel the magic of the season.

🎁 Drop your gift at your nearest CANSA Care Centre or CANSA TLC Lodge by 25 November and help us share hope across South Africa this December.

Together, let's show every child that they are deeply cherished and never forgotten. ❤️

* At CANSA TLC, we support children, teens, young adults and their loved ones throughout their cancer journey. Through our facilities, hospital wards and online support services, we're helping families cope while promoting early detection through cancer awareness.

Strong Men Take Action by Putting their Health First

CANSA launches its ‘Strong Men Take Action’ campaign this November, encouraging men to note changes in their bodies, and seek medical advice without delay. Feeling anxious about a possible diagnosis is natural, however, the campaign reminds men that early detection could save their lives, encouraging them to overcome fear, embarrassment or misconceptions that could prevent them from seeking medical advice.

WHEN THE SCRIPT CHANGED | EPISODE 3

Cancer affected my health, but it didn’t stop there.
Treatment meant stepping away from work, while the bills and responsibilities continued.
I had medical aid and gap cover, but I learned that a serious illness can bring financial realities beyond medical costs.
A close friend helped me understand what I wish I’d known earlier.
