Thulani Sibisi receives The Prostate Cancer Foundation’s Legacy Award
The highlight of our awards ceremony held in Johannesburg on 16 July 2024 was the recognition of the huge impact that Thulani Sibisi has made to our organisation, and to the field of prostate cancer generally in South Africa.
He joined the Prostate Cancer Foundation in 2016 and was appointed to the position of vice-chairman of our Patient Affairs Board in 2018. Using his platform as the winner of the 1986 Two Oceans marathon, and his ability to connect with diverse audiences, he has been a relentless advocate for raising awareness about prostate cancer and the importance of screening for early detection.
He was awarded with The Prostate Cancer Foundation’s Legacy award in appreciation of and in recognition for the exceptional impact that he has made whilst serving in his role as vice-chairman of our Patient Affairs Board.
His contribution to raising awareness about prostate cancer in South Africa and supporting prostate cancer survivors has been recognised as exceptional by not only the Prostate Cancer Foundation and its members, but also by his peers, the media, the athletics world and members of the public.
Well done Thulani, your contribution has made a huge impact to our cause!
