Our Flagship Ride took us on a journey, winding through the breathtaking landscapes from Cape Town to Overberg, Boland, and Winelands in October 2023. The theme of “Sowing the Seeds of Awareness and Hope” guided our every endeavour, and it is with pride that we share the outcomes of this impactful journey.
In our pursuit of creating awareness and education, nurturing our patients and communities, and celebrating life, our focus has been on fostering a deep
understanding and recognition of cancer as a disease. We addressed its risk factors, symptoms, prevention, early detection, and the available support, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
Key Achievements have marked our path, including a successful brand refresh, the expansion of education through visually engaging EduShows involving our entire team, and reaching a groundbreaking number of individuals. The support from Tygerberg Hospital, Care Home, and Groote Schuur has enabled us to extend our reach to even more patients.
Our Success Stories, including partnerships with Kromco, Two a Day, Montagu, and Goudini, showcase the tangible impact of our efforts. The data and metrics speak volumes – our impact is quantifiable, with over 8000 people reached face to face.
Acknowledgements are due to the privilege of participating in Spar Ladies morning, celebrating Spar’s 10-year anniversary as our Title sponsor, and welcoming Suzuki as our new Vehicle and Bike sponsor. Siemens Healthineers’ transition from a mini-ride sponsor to a Flagship Ride sponsor has been pivotal. Gratitude extends to all sponsors for their invaluable contributions, and a special recognition of the hard work of our Cancervivers during the ride.
The seeds of awareness planted during the Flagship Ride 2023 will continue to bloom, fostering a future filled with understanding, support, and hope.
