Jersey is taking  part in a charity event on the 24^th March 2019, as part of the Cardiff Kids Fashion Festival.

The event is being run by Cancel Cancer in Africa and well established and reputable company that is seeking to provide care and advice to people living in Africa who have been effected by cancer.

Most of us know either directly or indirectly the effects cancer can have on individuals and families, and although we still loose loved ones to cancer in this country we have an incredible NHS that provide the best care possible.  In rural parts of Africa theses facilities are not widely available, making the struggle even harder.

So Jersey will be walking the catwalk in order to help raise awareness for this charity, any donations would also be hugely appreciated.

The rate of late presentations of Cancer symptoms in rural Africa is the number one reason why the number of people dying from Cancer is very high in Africa.Most countries in Africa do not have the facilities to care for Cancer patients. Imagine a country of over 60 million people with just one government MRI. Many poor women live in rural villages needing to travel hundreds of kilometres to the city capital hospital with the hope that she will be attended to. Weve not even factored in the reality that these poor people cannot afford one complete meal a day.Cancel Cancer Africa has been working in rural Africa since 2009 educating the local people about the early Signs and Symptoms of Cancer, with a primary focus on Prostate, Cervical and Breast.
