The Victoria’s Promise charity was founded to fulfill a promise; a promise of someone so brave, caring and warm that it has inspired a movement – that person is Victoria Van der Westhuizen. Having lost her father and grandmother to cancer and watched her mother battle through to eventually beat it, Victoria vowed to fight back. Tragically, before she was given the opportunity to achieve her goals and just two months after diagnosis, Victoria lost her own valiant battle with the disease. Victoria’s Promise now stands as a beacon of light and hope; a legacy to continue the care and warmth that Victoria embodied. After Victoria’s family saw first-hand the struggles that young women face during chemotherapy and the aspects of care that were being overlooked, it was clear that supporting these brave young women was an area in which they could make a positive difference. There are areas that are being heavily neglected. Areas that are crucial to the well-being of thousands of women across the country. Further research has shown that there is not enough support, treatments and guidance for patients that are going through the sometimes dramatic physical changes that can come with chemotherapy. There is a lack of relaxation and holistic treatments provided, such as reflexology. Victoria’s Promise will strive to change this and ensure this crucial support is in place.
