Victoria’s memory lives on through the charity she inspired and that today is dedicated to helping others fight cancer Victoria’s Promise is a charity that started as a legacy to a brave young woman, Victoria Van Der Westhuizen. Victoria lost her battle with cancer before she had the opportunity to fulfill her vow to help other young women facing their own battles with the disease. Having spent a year building strong foundations, relationships and increasing understanding of the areas in which Victoria’s Promise can have the most impact, the charity has blossomed from a vision for a legacy into an emblem of hope and support. The charity is now in a position to scale up and implement its channels of support to young women who have received a diagnosis requiring treatment. Victoria’s Promise has looked at how to support each person COMPLEMENTARY THERAPY COUNSELLING
holistically, with supportive services that will ensure the road through treatment and beyond is as stress free, manageable and successful as possible. By working closely and in-depth with each person to make sure their needs are met. The funds raised this evening will be invaluable in our mission to see that every woman between the ages of 18-40 receives the care support and guidance they deserve whilst facing a difficult and frightening time in their young lives. We hope you have a wonderful evening. We thank you deeply for your attendance and support. Thank you. Alex, CJ and Fiona
