Kids-Can Cancer
Foundation
Morning
Cruise had the opportunity to speak to the founder of the Kids-can Cancer
foundation, Kaashief Lakey. Mr Lakey will be hosting an event on 03 December 2022.
Kaashief was
interviews by our Morning Cruise presenter, Khusi, where he started it off by
asking when Lakey first started the foundation. He replied by saying that it
all started with himself many years ago. He opened up and shared that he also
had cancer at the age of 21, where he developed a gland on his neck that he
found out was cancerous. He further went on to mention that he wanted to get
involved with the families that go through the same thing with their kids.
Lakey mentioned
that the past two years has not been easy and that they needed to use his own
platform to get the word out there but they have been fortunate to have received
great sponsorships so far.
He shared
that being at the peak of where he wants to be with the foundation comes with
difficulties and it’s a rollercoaster of emotions, he also said that there were
times he has needed to remove himself from social media because the stories of
children and sharing them in its truest form was very important for him.
Some of the
main objectives that the organisation has started off by just creating
platforms and also mentioned that it was all about connecting people other
like-minded people. Kaashief has also made partnerships with other aspiring
minds that he is grateful for. The event will be taking place at 54 Milton road
in Goodwood, where they will have car shows, soccer tournaments and also lots
of venders from 9am till 8pm.
Before ending off the interview, Kaashief has asked for anyone to go and visit the hospital and see the children and anyone can join or contact him on 0833529842.
