2026 Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer
Imagine if your five-kilometre walk could help a CHOC team reach a family hundreds of kilometres away.
Join us for the 2026 Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer, presented by Isuzu Motors South Africa
and take a meaningful step in support of CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA. Funds raised could help CHOC’s Eastern Cape team secure a much-needed double-cab bakkie giving our team the mobility to reach remote communities, deliver awareness and education programmes,
and connect children and teenagers affected by childhood cancer with support sooner. Because sometimes, reaching a family begins with simply being able to reach them. Visit: algoafm.co.za/algoafm-big-wa…
Why can leukaemia cause bone pain in children?
Leukaemia starts in the bone marrow, where blood cells are made. As abnormal cells build up, they can crowd out healthy cells and increase pressure on the bones, causing bone or joint pain.
Although bone pain can have many causes, persistent or unexplained or worsening pain should never be ignored. If you’re concerned about your child’s symptoms, seek medical advice.

Know the signs. Share the knowledge. Help keep more than hope alive.

We’re grateful to be part of the Naked Difference.
This year, @NakedCover_SA customers helped give R2.3 million to local causes, including CHOC.
So, how does it work? 👇
Naked takes a flat fee to run its business. When there’s money left after claims have been paid, that money goes to the causes chosen by Naked customers rather than being taken as profit.
Already a Naked customer? You can choose CHOC as your Naked Difference beneficiary
Not with Naked yet? Get a car insurance quote in 90 seconds, and your insurance could help support causes like ours.
Insurance that gives back. We’re here for it.

#SchoolHealthWeek Returning to school after treatment isn’t just about books and homework, it’s about belonging again.
Mr Lawrence Mbuyane, CHOC’s Psychosocial Support Services Manager, reminds us how schools can make this transition easier through open communication
When teachers, parents, and classmates are understanding, children and teenagers are able to heal with dignity rather than discomfort.

For families staying at a CHOC House, a meal can provide comfort, connection, and a sense of normality during a difficult time. Nutrition support also helps families who may be facing financial pressure while caring for a child undergoing treatment.
From July 2025 to June 2026, CHOC served 94,686 people at our CHOC Houses, provided 598 food parcels, and distributed 1,903 food vouchers.
Because care doesn’t only happen in a hospital room.
Sometimes, it happens around the table.

At CHOC, we understand that cancer is not only a medical journey, it is an emotional one too.
Behind every drip, diagnosis, and hospital bed is a child or teenager facing fear, a parent navigating uncertainty, and a family learning to hold on to hope.
CHOC social workers provide safe spaces where children, teenagers, and their families can express their feelings, learn healthy coping strategies, and access the emotional support they need throughout their cancer journey.
Because caring for a child with cancer means supporting the whole family, not just the illness.
