We just want to say thank you for everything you have done for us. We really appreciate it tremendously. Adriaan’s brain cancer has shrunk more! Prof. said that he only has to go for a scan in PE and follow-ups. If all goes well, we won’t have to come back here! (Red Cross, Cape Town) Again, thank you for sorting out our Cape Town accommodation and transport daily, and THANK YOU to everyone who was involved. God Bless You ALL” Septima Adriaan’s Grandmother
I have been sitting here thinking how I can describe how thankful we are for your support and I am struggling to find the appropriate words….. I want you to know how much we appreciate what you have done in such a short time for our children in the Daisy Ward. You and your team are angels sent to us and you have made a real difference in our children’s lives and we are very grateful for that. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your visit. The Bags of Hope has been distributed to the other parents and patients and the parents was very grateful for it. One mother commented that it was the first time that they have received something practical and useful. Thank you for the wonderful work which Little Fighters Cancer Trust does. I don’t think it is only about the care bags, but the fact that you really care. Lekker dag. Carina Fourie Child Support Services Netcare Unitas Hospital Read More
As a parent with a child with cancer, the challenges are many. When a child has cancer, the entire family is affected. If you have not experienced this journey yourself, you cannot begin to imagine the scope of the challenges that come our way. Many days while at hospital with my son, I remember worrying about a meal for my other children at home. One cannot imagine the emotional turmoil dealing with a child with cancer AND worrying about empty stomachs and lack of basic necessities. Read More

A quick thank you to all of you for hosting a very special pre-race evening. The efforts of the ‘Bay to Bay’, tour were indeed worth every pedal stroke when it became clear the level of support that you gave us all. As a non-South African resident my knowledge of the ‘Little Fighters’, organisation was regretfully non-existent, but once explained I found great warmth and personal support for every action you take.
They do so much for the children in need, and not only the children but the parents that is going through this ordeal as well. They are sympathetic, kind and good-hearted. They will go out of their way just to make our (parents) pain a little less. With Xuané’s condition she is permanently on nappies. LFCT did everything in their power to get me sponsors for nappies - have 2 sponsors’ thanks to them! I will be forever grateful to LFCT to make our days a little less worry and much brighter!

My grandson Reef was diagnosed with Leukaemia at the age of 5 months, it has been a 2 year journey I would not wish on anyone, but LFCT are amazing whether it is sourcing specialised food for Reef and couriering it to our doorstep, sending parcels of nappies, clothes, creams etc. Collecting funds for doctors bills to be paid these people are relentless in their determination to make the life of cancer families easier. I thank God for them every single day. ~ Charmeon Carneson ~ Read more
