My phone just rang with a number that is not on my contact list. I answer: “Adele hello”… writes ADELE GROSSE, mother of Luca (13), a Cape Town boy who was diagnosed with a unique type of T-cell ALL (Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) in November 2016.
I hear: ” Hello Adele, it is Christopher Ndaba speaking. I am phoning you from Gauteng to tell you that I cycled 72km today for Luca.”
I had to sit down. Tears just started flowing.
I say: “Christopher, how do you know about Luca and his cancer? And why do you have such a big heart for this?”
He says: “I follow you on FaceBook. I am an activist for young people. Today I cycled for Luca and all the other young people who have cancer… to give them HOPE.”
This is the South Africa I believe in, and that makes me believe in humanity. Thank YOU Christopher!!! I will soon be heading up to Gauteng for business and I am looking forward to meeting you in person.
It is people like you that makes the world a better place. GRATITUDE.
Bring HOPE and register with The Sunflower Fund to become a blood stem cell donor. We need South Africans to help South Africans.
YOU might be my Luca’s match and lifesaver.
Luca’s intense chemotherapy treatment started two days after his diagnosis, in preparation for a stem cell transplant in 2017… if he finds a donor.
