Personal message

So the short of it is that for years I've watched these guys come cycling past year in and year out. And at some point you've really got to stop watching what's going on and get involved, Life is a contact sport afterall. This year i'm involved and not only for my own sense of achievement, but to make a worthy and notable contribution to the lives of others. Breast Cancer is a cause that is very important to a ton of people in my life and the work done by the Pink Drive is invaluable.

Life is truly what you make of it, an AWESOME thrill ride that no one can prepare you for. I invite everyone to get involved and take part in their own lives, create the most amazing journey that you can. By helping me raise some funds, not only will you be uplifting your own life, but the lives of so many others too. Go out and LIVE BIG :)

PinkDrive Breast Cancer Fundraising

Charity Default Logo

PinkDrive NPC, a health sector NGO, was founded in 2009 by Ms Noelene Kotschan, on the premise that  “Early detection saves lives.” PinkDrive’s cardinal purpose is to contribute meaningfully towards preventing as many people as it can, from succumbing to breast, cervical, prostate and testicular cancer. 

Its primary focus is on citizens without access to reasonable care for these conditions, and who reside in areas where health services do not reach. It recognises that treatable cancers receiving even the basic levels of care could translate into varying lengths of extended life for the afflicted when detected and treated early. Its posture is ostensibly a promoter of health awareness in general, and specifically health education and heightening awareness of gender-related cancers in South Africa.  

Our Mission:  

Promote awareness and early detection of, and screening for gender-related cancers in the general  population of South Africa, using the message “Early detection will help to prolong life.”  

Our Vision:  

To be the leading non-governmental organisation dedicated to creating and promoting awareness about cancer in South Africa, and potentially beyond.  

Our delivery:  

PinkDrive has five principal interventions through its flagship programmes, PinkDrive® and More Balls  Than Most®, channelled through mobile point-of-contact service delivery by skilled certificated  medical/nursing practitioners, namely:  

  1. Clinical Breast Exams: A mass screening service provided to woman and men of all ages. This service includes one-on-one cancer education focusing on self-examinations as well as a breast examination.  2. Mammograms: A select screening service primarily provided for a woman over the age of 40, unless they are referred for a mammogram by a Doctor.  
  2. Pap Smears: Cervical Cancer Screening.  
  3. Prostate-Specific Antigen Test (PSA): These tests are a form of rapid testing for men above the age of  40 years old. These tests are administered by testing an adequate sample of blood taken from a subject.  5. Prostate and Testicular Cancer Awareness and Education: At all activations, More Balls Than Most sets up information booths and supplies information flyers to educate the public about Prostate and Testicular  Cancer.  

Our beneficiaries:  

Indigent and medically uninsured woman and men are the primary beneficiaries of PinkDrive NPC’s commitment. Citizens living in rural, township and semi-urban geographies across South Africa, are of the highest priority. Beneficiaries who can afford to pay for the service, are charged an approved nominal amount, which in turn funds the services to the indigent and medically uninsured beneficiaries.
