Aandwedloop samel draf-draf geld vir palliatiewe sorg in
Taalmonument gasheer vir geleentheid van pret, gesellig eet en ’n bietjie sweet
Met die groeiende uitdaging om die lewensgehalte van pasiënte met lewensbedreigende siektes, asook hul gesinne, te verbeter, is dit nou die tyd om draf-draf (of stap-stap) geld in te samel vir die Drakenstein Palliatiewe Hospies. Boonop is talle medaljes en kontantpryse op die spel wanneer die Afrikaanse Taalmuseum en -monument (ATM), Historium Trust en Paarl Atletiekklub se Aandwedloop op Woensdag, 8 Desember 2021, op die beeldskone Paarlberg plaasvind.
Soos altyd kan deelnemers en ondersteuners staatmaak op die perfekte piekniek- en kuierplekke by die monument, waar tydelike uitstallings asook ’n avontuurlike speelgrond en buitelugspeletjies wink. Boonop kan almal hierdie ikoniese monument vir een van Afrika se jongste tale gratis verken en bewonder. Maak ’n heerlike aand daarvan: bring ’n piekniekmandjie en drankies, komberse en kussings, en onthou ook asseblief warm klere en ’n masker.
Die 10km-Aandwedloop, wat ingevolge die reëls van Atletiek Suid-Afrika en Boland Atletiek aangebied word, begin om 18:30; dit volg ’n opwindende en uitdagende roete op teer- en grondpaaie. Die inskrywingsfooi is R70 en tydelike nommers (vir diegene wat nie lede van ’n atletiekklub is nie) is beskikbaar teen R40. Die gesellige 5km-Woordloop, wat om 18:45 begin, is gemik op die hele gesin – selfs stootwaentjies is welkom! Die inskrywingsfooi is R50 en deelnemers skryf in met ’n prettige Afrikaanse woord in stede van ’n nommer. In beide gevalle is stappers is ook welkom, dus daar is g’n verskoning om nie gesond, goed en vrygewig te voel nie.
Deelname aan die 10km-wedloop sal tot 500 beperk word, en mense word aangemoedig om voor 12:00 op Maandag, 6 Desember 2021, in te skryf deur Lucky Mokwena op mokwenal@sun.ac.za of 084 826 5895 te kontak.

Hulle versorg gemiddeld 230 pasiënte met lewensbedreigende siektes in hul huise per maand, en bedien die hele Drakenstein-distrik van Saron tot Simondium, insluitend al die dorpe, landelike gebiede en informele nedersettings. Hul sorgspan verseker dat pasiënte en hul gesinne van die beste gehalte palliatiewe sorg voorsien word en met waardigheid sterf.

Most palliative care in South Africa is offered exclusively by private institutions, and Drakenstein Palliative Care was established in 1991 by a small group of volunteers to perform this community service. They care for an average of 230 patients with life-threatening illnesses in their homes per month, and serve the entire Drakenstein district from Saron to Simondium, including all the towns, rural areas and informal settlements. Their care team ensures that patients and their families are provided with the best quality palliative care and die with dignity. The aim is to prevent and reduce suffering through early identification and thorough assessment, and by addressing the pain and other problems associated with the illnesses on a physical, psychosocial and mental level. Contact them at marketing@drakensteinhospice.org.za or 021 872 4060.
