Yesterday marked World Lymphoma Awareness Day

We were joined Instudio by Mariaan Stofberg - who was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2012. She shared her story in support of the “I am the voice of Lymphoma” campaign. Yesterday was World Lymphoma Awareness Day and it is reported that over one million people worldwide live with lymphoma, and over 1000 people are diagnosed with this cancer every day, yet it is still misunderstood and misdiagnosed.  I am the voice of Lymphoma is a collaborative initiative between a number of local organisations, including CHOC, The Sunflower Fund, The Faces of Hope Foundation, Campaigning for Cancer, the KZN Lymphoma Support Group and Roche, with the support of the Lymphoma Coalition, the global body responsible for World Lymphoma Awareness Day. The key objective of this initiative is to raise awareness but it was also to discuss the importance of establishing an official voice for lymphoma in South Africa.
