HESSEQUA NEWS - The Bark for Life event on Saturday 14 October event is the ideal opportunity for owner and dog to honor the special relationship they share in their fight against cancer and at the same time bringing awareness to the importance of sterilisation and population control in our domestic pets.

"Many of our dog children are also cancer survivors, or are currently fighting their cancer battle. 

"Others are part of the group that support our cancer patients in their fight against cancer. 

"The event is an exceptional opportunity for dog owners and their animal children to prove their solidarity against the disease. 

"It forms part of the Cansa Relay for Life, but has its own place and time because it can not provide for animals for logistic reasons," said Cars chairperson, Sandra Lotz.

The event starts at 12:00 and animals can come together with their owners to the Riversdale Showgrounds main entrance. A short program will follow, after which the animals will walk a short route around the 'obstacle course'. 

Lucinda Viljoen from Cansa will also be present to answer questions.

Please ensure that all dogs are on leads for everyone’s comfort and safety. Gates open at 12:00 and entry is R5 per person. 

Any inquiries can be directed to Sandra Lotz at 082 962 1831, Junita Kleinhans at 082 495 5212 or Lucinda Viljoen at 082 66 33 529 or email lucinda@cansa.org.za
