While blood cancer is not top of mind when it comes to fatal cancers, it is one of the top five cancers affecting people globally. This is according to Dr Estelle Verburgh, clinical haematologist and associate professor in Clinical Haematology at the University of Cape Town, who adds that often the only hope for a cure is a blood stem cell transplantation.
In a bid to raise funds and awareness for those who are suffering from blood disorders and cancers, DKMS Africa (formerly known as the Sunflower Fund) will once again embark on their annual Sunflower Day campaign which will be celebrated on the 17th of September 2021. This special day is usually honoured through the sale of the Tube of Hope (TOPE) and this year is no different with topes going on sale from August 2021.

North Louth Hospice is calling on the public to dedicate a sunflower in memory of a loved one in their ‘Virtual Sunflower Remembrance Garden’.
The garden, which will be open throughout the month of June, will help raise vital funds for local hospice and home care services in Louth and throughout the country.
The campaign is runnng to help raise funds for Together For Hospice, the National Hospice Service, as well as to recognise the difficult year that both families and communities have had.
The campaign is being done online due to cancellations of on-street bucket collections and fundraising for the second year in a row due to Covid-19, with it having a devastating impact on local hospices as well as their ability to fundraise.
