WE WERE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM JENNY THIS MORNING THAT SHE AND THE TEAM COMPLETED THE WALK IN 7 DAYS! CONGRATULATIONS JENNY, FROM ALL AT BACKABUDDY..
Jenny Munton - Hike for CHOC - Naukluft, Namibia, July 2008.
I am about to embark on a very special experience. I plan to spend 8 days covering 120km of difficult terrain, including climbing numerous chains, in the Naukluft Valley in Namibia. It is the most difficult hike in Southern Africa. I am doing this at 61 and as a survivor of cancer.
In 2000, I embarked on a very demanding experience of a diferent nature - 6 months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. I was fortunate enough to succeed in overcoming all obstacles then.
In hiking in Naukluft, I will be rejoicing at the beauty and thanking God for having survived to see the beauty of such a wonderful place. The children of CHOC have not had many years of life before having to undergo chemotherapy and without our help, many will not have the chance to experience a future, nor see such beauties of nature.
I therefore would like to request donations to CHOC, so that I can hold their special work in my heart during the hike and contribute to making it possible for as many children as possible to have the opportunity to experience a full life after cancer.
Please make credit card donations by visiting the secure BackaBuddy website at www.backabuddy.co.za. The system will help you through the simple payment process, and you will receive an immediate email acklnowledgment. Your donation, and any words of encouragement, will then appear on my free BackaBuddy webpage and will also be reported directly to CHOC.
Thank you for supporting this good cause.
Kind regards
Jenny Munton

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation |
CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation is a country wide voluntary organisation. It brings together the parents of children who suffer from all varieties of cancer or life threatening blood disorders. Funds raised are applied to directly benefit the children and their families, and to those involved in the treatment of these most serious illnesses. The goal of this dedicated group is to improve the welfare and quality of care for children with cancer. The organisation provides direct practical help to children with cancer, from diagnosis onwards, recognising the inevitable disruption to family life when a child faces vigorous and often lengthy treatment. The name CHOC (an abbreviation of "Childrens Haematology Oncology Clinics") was used by the first local parent group, established in 1979. In 2000 a new national organisation was formed, linking parent groups in all parts of the country. |
