The funds will go towards purchasing equipment needed to be able to continue treating blood cancer cases in the Eastern Cape. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIgazi is humbled to be a beneficiary of the first \u2018Virtual\u2019 Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer, allowing us to continue serving the needs of blood cancer patients in the Eastern Cape,\u201d says Cole Cameron of the Igazi Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer has been a highlight on the Eastern Cape\u2019s events calendar for the past 22 years, and we are looking forward to the challenge before us as we go virtual this year,\u201d says Algoa FM Managing Director, Alfie Jay. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be all too easy during this Covid-19 pandemic to forget about other diseases such as cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Virtual Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer presented by the Eastern Cape Department of Health allows us to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors and those close to them. By walking, we celebrate the steps that patients and their loved ones have taken since being diagnosed with cancer,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit the Algoa FM website at
