A FIRST IN SOUTH AFRICA The inaugural fun run for men and boys takes place in Pietermaritzburg on the 7th November 2014 at 16h30. PinkDrive, in association with League of Friends of the Blind have launched the first braille breast self examination (BSE) booklet “To Feel is to Heal” giving blind women access to much needed information. Despite the numerous technological advances over the years, access to health information for blind persons is limited. This has been a great contributing factor in placing them at risk of developing and managing certain conditions. It is with this in mind that this partnership was formed to give blind women access and equal opportunity to their sighted counterparts. The “To Feel is to Heal” booklet is the first of its kind in South Africa raising awareness on breast health education and the importance of early detection as it is key to saving lives. duh Ball DASH MORE BALLS THAN MOST ® The 4km dash starts and ends at Maritzburg College and will be a great way to start your weekend.
