SANLAM CANCER CHALLENGE
Our annual fundraising golf day is coming up on Saturday the 9th of June. We appeal to our members from
all sub-sections to step up to the plate and make a difference – get your name onto that time-sheet!. This
the only Charity day run by our Club where the proceeds are donated to a worthy cause
Data received from the CANSA association based on statistics from 1999, showed 40% of all cancers reported
to the cancer registry are in Gauteng! The leading cancer in women is breast cancer with cervical cancer as the
second most common and Basal cell carcinoma the third. The US is the leader of breast cancer with South African
white females ranking the fourth highest in the world.
Cancer is the highest cause of death in children in first world countries – accident and infection being the leading
killer in children of 3rd world countries. According to CHOC; 1 in 7000 children under the age of 14 will have some
form of cancer - the most common cancer in Children is leukemia - up to a quarter of the cases reported. The curative
rate of leukemia in children is up to 70% provided it is diagnosed and treated timeously. However, there is a much higher
number of children who survive cancer than adults – "treatment for children is to cure."
The leading cancer in 1999 for white males was basal cell carcinoma at 23% of all cancers reported, 13.6 % of cancer
in men is Prostate cancer. SA prostate cancer statistics are the 5th highest worldwide.
Did you know that Kaposi sarcoma – the sores often seen on Aids sufferers is a form of cancer?
Funds raised by this golf day go toward research and development. Imagine a cure for cancer?
See you on the 9th!
New locks have been fitted to the entrance doors at squash – anyone needing a key please
report to reception during office hours - R150.00 per key one per person.
