The Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa (CHOC) once again calls on all South Africans to support children living with the disease. The ‘Run for Hope’ fun walk is an initiative to raise awareness of the infection and to express support for kids with cancer, survivors and their families. In developed countries, childhood cancer has become largely curable with the overall survival rate reaching between 70% and 80%, whereas in South Africa the rate is approximately 55%. CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA aims to improve this rate by creating awareness of the early warning signs of childhood cancer.
