IN PHOTOS: Another annual CANSA Golf Day raises much-needed funds
The annual Kiaat Private Hospital CANSA Golf day was hosted on June 4 at Mbombela Golf Club.
Sisters from Kiaat Private Hospital were at the registration area to test the players' blood pressure and sugar levels.
'The day was a big success because of companies that sponsored the event and tees, and entered four-balls. Thank you to each one that took part, as well to those companies that sponsored the pop-a-balloon, raffle prizes and prizes for the winning golfers. Our MC Michelle Buys ended the day on a great note, raising more funds for us with an auction,' said Rinella Jansen van Vuuren, CANSA Lowveld's sustainability co-ordinator.

• Individual and telephone counselling services
• CANSA clinic days and early detection programmes
• Cancer research funding programmes
• Medical equipment and prosthetic supplies
• Wig clinics and services
• Stoma support
• CANSA care homes, centres and Tough Living with Cancer lodges
• Support groups and online resources.
The betterball Stableford was won by Eric Sithole and Macdonald Lelaka with 50 points.
