CANSA Shavathon is one of South Africa’s best-loved events
in support of a very worthy cause, namely showing solidarity with those
affected by cancer. Losing one’s hair is a common side-effect of cancer therapy
– so shaving your head has become a symbolic gesture of support for cancer
survivors.
Colouring your hair or paying a Bail Out Fee have become
options for those who prefer not to shave, or who can’t shave on the day. For those who like to be actively engaged and
to make a difference, Shavathon embraces volunteers. Their support is
invaluable.
