*Important Announcement
The safety and health of our cancer patients, volunteers and staff is paramount.
As our most valued partner, we assure you that CANSA is taking all the necessary precautions to minimise the impact of COVID-19. Cancer patients are among those at high risk of serious illness from an infection because their immune systems are often vulnerable.
Wear masks, Maintain Social Distance & Sanitise.
CANSA focuses on lowering cancer risk and early detection through education, research and advocacy. Local CANSA Care Centres throughout South Africa offer care and support services to cancer Survivors (patients), Caregivers and loved ones.
CANSA is committed to connecting people facing cancer with information, day-to-day help as well as emotional support they need in the communities where they live. Our aim is to ensure that cancer Survivors, their caregivers and loved ones don’t have to face cancer alone; we’re here to support them through every step of their cancer journey.*
* The responsibility rests with patients and caregivers to contact CANSA for assistance. CANSA is not informed of any diagnoses / of patients being treated at medical centres. Family and caregivers need to obtain permission from patients, before CANSA may contact them. Read more…

Leadership Committee
CANSA Relay For Life is a community-owned, volunteer-driven activity. Our success depends on the recruitment and development of enthusiastic, dedicated, and goal-orientated volunteers.
CANSA Relay For Life is a community-based event. It fulfills the fundamental need of belonging and creates a sense of community by bringing together people in an emotionally moving and a fun atmosphere.
