13 November
It’s nearly time for one of our very favourite days of the year … Sunflower Day. If you haven’t already, then make sure you get yourself a beautiful Sunflower Fund tope and why not consider becoming a bone marrow donor? It’s not as painful think and it’s really the ultimate gift you can give another person! According to the Global Cancer Observatory, a South African is diagnosed with a blood disorder every five minutes, and there are only under 77 000 registered donors in the country. This year, Sunflower Day will be celebrated on 13 November and you can take part by either becoming a donor or buying a Tube of Hope (TOPE) and sharing some hope. TOPES are available online or at Pick n Pay stores and selected pharmacies nationwide for R30. You could also consider planning a mini-event or fundraiser to commemorate Sunflower Day and help with much-needed fundraising efforts to grow the patient support fund.

14 November
The Philocaly Trail (Philocaly meaning the Love of Beauty) is a KZN beach walk that was initiated by nature lover Nikki Williamson, which sees participants donating money to marine conservation charities for each day that they walk. The event first took place last year, with 285 participants, and over R60 000 was raised and donated to WildOceans Conservation, Breathe Ocean Conservation and KZN Beach Clean UP. When 420 walkers took the beach (walking between Mtunzini and Sheffield Beach over five days) in September this year, a remarkable R100 000 was raised. Due to popular demand, a ‘mini’ Philocaly Trail has been organised on 14 and 15 November. Participants can walk on one or both days and the event goes from Tinley Manor Beach to Salmon Bay Beach (15km on day 1) and then Salmon Bay to Umdloti (17km on day 2).
