Personal message

With a heavy heart, we address you today on behalf of a cherished and much loved family, the Beverley Family, who are once again confronted with an unimaginable challenge.

Mel, Grant, Savannah (8), and Harper (4), have displayed remarkable resilience in their ongoing battle against Cancer, a battle that has tested their strength beyond measure.

Let me introduce you to Marlise Beverley, also known as Mel, a remarkable mother to two beautiful little girls, an incredibly supportive and devoted wife, still deeply in love with her husband Grant, after 10 years of marriage, and business owner of Hoedspruit Accountants, where she serves numerous local businesses in the area. Beyond her persoanl and professional success, Mel is an extraordinary friend, a compassionate human being, and an all-round caring and nurturing, warrior woman. Someone we are utterly proud to also call our best friend!

It all began in May 2021 when Mel received her first diagnosis of Breast Cancer. Since then, she has endured a gruelling 26-month journey, filled with medical procedures, surgeries, Chemotherapy, Double Mastectomy, Radiation, and numerous other ups and downs. Throughout this difficult journey, Mel's unwavering determination and positivity have served as a beacon of hope, for us all.

In August 2022, we celebrated with sheer joy when Mel received the news of remission. However, her/ their / our relief was short-lived, as Cancer returned, manifesting in debilitating migraines. On October 28 2022, just weeks after the all clear, our worst fears were confirmed - the Cancer had resurfaced, this time with numerous brain tumours. Mel underwent a life-saving surgery to remove three tumours on November 1st, followed by a challenging path to recovery, involving Radiation and Chemotherapy once again. Despite it all, Mel, Grant, and the girls displayed incredible strength and grace throughout. Mel has been left with permanent damage to her peripheral sight and struggles with constant fatigue, this has a negative impact on her work productivity,  which adds extra strain both financially and mentally.

In late May 2023, positive MRI scans brought hope, and just as they began rebuilding their lives after treatment once again, devastating news struck. Mel's headaches had returned.

On July 14th, just two days after her 38th birthday, our WORST fears were confirmed - four tumours were once again present in Mel's brain.

Now, they embark on yet another arduous journey, with Mel requiring extended oral chemotherapy for the next six months to combat this relentless disease.

As a community who deeply care for Mel, Grant, Savannah, and Harper, we turn to you, seeking support. The emotional and physical toll they face is unimaginable, and the financial burden only adds to their immense challenges. We humbly ask for your assistance, in any amount possible, to ease the load on this extraordinary family.

Together, we can provide the love, support, and resources they need to face this battle head-on. Your kindness and generosity will make an immeasurable difference in their lives. Let us unite to show Cancer once again, that it cannot defeat the strength and love of this unbreakable family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Candice and Krystle

Hi, My name is Candice Grover, and I am from Limpopo, Hoedspruit.

I am utterly heartbroken as I type this motivation of support. Mel, Grant, Savannah and Harper are again facing the unthinkable. Mel was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in May of 2021. She faced a gruelling 15-month journey of Chemotherapy, Double Mastectomy, Radiography and MANY, MANY other ups and downs, but Mel's strength never once wavered through it all.
