Supporters of DKMS Africa, an international non-profit organisation dedicated to the fight against blood cancer, and Rainbows and Smiles, are gearing up for the annual Sunflower Sky Hike taking place on Sani Pass on June 21 in support of blood cancer patients, survivors and their families.
On Father’s Day on Sunday, June 21, adventurers, families, and supporters are encouraged to lace up their hiking boots and don their brightest colours for the annual Sunflower Sky Hike in support of blood cancer patients, survivors and their families.
At the heart of this year’s event is Ian Preston, who has completed the hike for the past 19 years in memory of his daughter, Jade, who lost her battle with leukaemia.
Despite recently recovering from an injury, Ian is once again preparing to take on the mountain, one step at a time, in honour of Jade.
“For me, this hike is deeply personal. I do it in memory of my daughter Jade and every step is a reminder of why we must keep supporting families affected by blood cancer and life-threatening blood disorders,” said Preston.
