Cancer warriors
Milner High School presented a Cancer Awareness Week last week at the school with learners and teachers wearing ribbons in support of cancer warriors. The week ended on Thursday October 12 with a spray-a-thon where all funds raised were donated to Cansa. The school invited three ladies on motorbikes to join this great initiative and they made some noise to the enjoyment of the learners. The message of the day was that cancer doesn’t choose age or race. Photo: Provided.
