It could save a life
Investing usually means putting something in to get something back.
And the return is commonly financial.
But past donations and investments in our work from our donors and supporters may have saved someone’s life.
And that’s why today we’re inviting you to join an exclusive circle of friends that we call our Investors’ Circle, by clicking here. This is a group of exceptional people who give a special gift once a year to help fund a need that we wouldn’t normally be able to afford.
You see, around 10 years ago, CANSA Investors’ Circle members funded a new diagnostic instrument: the FotoFinder – which can identify and keep a check on skin cancers.
Those early FotoFinders have been invaluable over the years, especially in mole-mapping. The instrument’s early detection and monitoring of the most deadly form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, has led to successful treatment and the saving of lives.
Â
   What greater outcome from an investment
   can there be than someone’s ‘life’?
Â
We’d like to mention two melanoma survivors, Hettie and Chris, who benefited from our screening. This was possible because of our Investors’ Circle donors.
Â
As happens, time and events have moved on from the investment of friends like you in our first FotoFinders.
Â
Today’s statistics tell us that skin cancer is on the increase in both men and women across all skin shades.
This means that more screening is needed,
because self-examination just isn’t enough.
Â
But we don’t have enough FotoFindersÂ
to equip all our centres.
Â
Also, because they work on a licensed
software package, there’s a cost for
the software on the instruments which
need to be updated regularly.
Â
The best part about screening with a FotoFinder is that it’s totally non-invasive, acting like a camera which keeps records.
Â
To help save more lives from melanoma
is why we’re asking you click here right now
to safely send your Investors’ Circle
membership donation for this year.
One FotoFinder costs R135 600 – and we need four. We know it’s a large amount . . . but your full membership amount of R600 (or more if you’re able to give a little extra) will set us on the way.Â
Â
And every gift – big or small – will help us to reach our goal.
Â
In recognition of your generous full Investors’ Circle gift of R600 or more for this year, we’ll send you a torch – our small gift of appreciation to you.
Â
Our hope is that it will remind you that you’re an ‘investor in life’.
Â
Your sponsorship of a FotoFinder will identify skin cancers, and also help us with better patient tracking and ongoing care. Your FotoFinder can help to save someone’s life.
