42 This annual 5km run has become a nationwide phenomenon, with all proceeds going to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of South Africa. “These events are critical as they generate massive educational opportunities on a national level to educate men and boys about prostate and testicular cancer,” says Andrew Oberholzer, CEO of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of South Africa. Exactly one week before the actual event, on Friday 23rd September, congress delegates at the South African Urology Association Congress in Bloemfontein, did an early morning Daredevil event of their own, to show their support for the Daredevil run. The group ran down Bloemfontein's main street during early morning peak hour trafc and included SAUA committee members, Prof Shingai Mutambiwa (Academic Committee Chairman) and James Urry (Secretary). In a true show of male toughness, Dr Smit Van Zyl from Polokwane ran the event barefoot. A special thanks to Hollard for providing the Daredevil speedos, to Bionike for the goodie bags and thanks to all those congress delegates who braved a chilly spring Bloemfontein morning to participate.
