Volgende maand gaan die strate van Brackenfell in pienk getooi word om bewustheid oor kanker te kweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oktober is bewusmakingsmaand van borskanker, maar die Brackenfell Forum poog om in die maand ondersteuning en vertroosting te bied aan almal wat aan kanker ly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEnige ernstige siekte is \u2019n uitdagende pad, maar kanker kan \u2019n baie lang en alleen pad wees omdat jy so aanmekaar moet teruggaan vir behandeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDan kry jy die goeie nuus: jy is in remissie. Maar uit vrees dat die kanker weer kan opduik, leef jy altyd in vertwyfeling,\u201d s\u00ea Alta van Zyl, voorsitter van die forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die veldtog poog die forum om vroue en mans te oortuig om gereeld vir toetse te gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die Kankervereniging van Suid-Afrika was die mees algemene kankers in 2019 onder vroue bors-, serviks- en uteruskanker; en onder mans prostaat-, long-, melanoom en kolorektale kanker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil soveel mense moontlik by die veldtog betrokke kry,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners wat betrokke wil wees, kan van 7 Oktober af Brackenfell se boomstamme op sypaadjies in die hooftoevoerroetes of \u2019n boom in jou eie tuin met pienk materiaal toedraai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die volgende roetes word beplan: Brackenfell-boulevard (van die N1-brug tot by Bottelary); Cecil Morgan-rylaan in Proteahoogte; Frans Conradierylaan van die R300 tot Brackenfell-boulevard; Ou Paarlpad tot by Brackenfell-boulevard, en binne woongebiede. Teen 31 Oktober moet alle materiaal weer verwyder word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners kan dan ook materiaal aan die Brackenfell Forum skenk om troos-kombersies vir kankerpasi\u00ebnte te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie kombersies sal dan aan kankerpasi\u00ebnte oorhandig word om te gebruik terwyl hulle behandeling ontvang om te weet dat die gemeenskap hulle onderskraag op hul pad na herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElke kankerpasi\u00ebnt se storie en pad verskil. Die kombersies sal met liefde gemaak word en met liefde gegee word. Elke pasi\u00ebnt wat hom of haar daarmee toegooi, kan dan weet dat ons in die gees by hulle is en dat ons gebede hulle vergesel,\u201d s\u00ea Van Zyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Gemeente met Oop Deure in Proteaweg het sy parkeerterrein beskikbaar gestel op 30 Oktober van 10:00 tot 12:00 om die skenking te kom afgee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGedurende 2020 het Covid-19 die w\u00eareld geslaan. Brackenfell was nie uitgesluit nie, maar wat uitgestaan het, was die eenheid, helpende hande en oop beursies waar noodkosvoorraad dadelik bekom moes word. Dieselfde burgerlike kohesie en deernis is noodsaaklik om ook bewuswording van kanker te ondersteun. Laat ons vir mekaar die spreekwoordelike \u2018trooskombersie gee\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op 28 Oktober sal \u2019n oggendtee gehou word ter afsluiting van kankermaand. Bespreek per e-pos by Brackenfel.forum@gmail.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
