Today I had a photo shoot at the Pigeon Valley Nature Reserve in Glenwood for The Sunflower Fund "Dare to dream" charity Ball. This is my fourth year in a row taking part in this great initiative.When they started the organisation their aim was to secure financial support in order to increase the number of bone marrow stem cell donors in South Africa. With the odds of finding a donor being 1:100 000, the idea is to expand the registry to at least 100 000. You can help by joining the SABMR. All you have to do to be registered on the SABMR is to give two tubes of your blood. We need your fast response and long-term commitment.
The Sunflower Fund aims to educate and recruit a viable source of well-informed potential bone marrow stem cell donors who are ethnically diverse, in an effort to save the lives of those needing a transplant when suffering from life-threatening blood disorders. It strives to maintain the associated donor records of the South African Bone Marrow Registry.
You can also visit the Sunflower Fund website www.sunflowerfund.org.za for more information and how to you can get involved.
We had so much and Good luck to my fellow Durban designer kathrin Kidger (sitting next to me on the photo below) who is due to give birth tomorrow!
