Cancer.vive is a group of strong women bikers who feel privileged to have survived a life-threatening cancer and want to make a difference by helping other people living with the disease.
The ride takes place over a period of seven days, riding from one end of South Africa to the other on a structured route through cities, towns and rural communities and engages in focused, targeted awareness and education sessions on factual information, promoting hope, health, positive attitude and celebration of life.
Their aim of the motorcycle ride is to promote early detection and appropriate treatment. To achieve their goal, they joined forces with PLWC (People living with Cancer), an existing cancer related Not for Gain Organisation (NGO) and together they have a powerful calling to spread the message of hope across South Africa, especially targeting the rural areas where cancer is not spoken about.(www.cancer.vive.co.za)
In accepting this incredible task, Zookey has committed herself to raising R25,000 for the cause.
In an effort to raise these funds, Zookey along with East Coast Motorcycles, a large motorcycle store situated in Umhlanga that houses a number of big brand motorcycles, water sport accessories and more and Satin Candy, a trendy upmarket lingerie store, situated in Kloof, will be hosting a fundraising cocktail party and lingerie show which will take place at the East Coast Motorcycles store at 10 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Rocks on Thursday, 15 August.
The event will begin at 6pm with cocktails and appetisers and an opportunity for networking which will be followed by an official welcome speech by Zookey Zarling as well as a member of Cancer.vive and will end with an exciting "Triumph" lingerie show courtesy of Satin Candy. There will also be complimentary indulging limited treatments courtesy of Mangwanani African Spa with music from attending artists such as, DJ Happy girl and Durban based musician L'vovo.
The reason for the cohesion of "Triumph" underwear with that of "Triumph" motorbike is a symbolism of the strength of all the ladies living with and having survived cancer.
