CANSA is proud to announce Vivienne Van Der Schuur as a Relay For Life Global Hero of Hope. Diagnosed with cancer in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vivienne’s journey began under incredibly difficult circumstances — alone in hospital, facing surgery with courage and determination. Yet even in those early moments, her strength, compassion and deep sense of purpose shone through.

Announcing our 2025 Global Heroes of Hope! Each one of our Global heroes brings a face and voice to the cancer battle as well as reinforces the importance of the work we do on a daily basis.
