GEORGE NEWS - Estiaan Nel, the 5-year-old boy who was diagnosed with a massive brain tumour five weeks ago, has died.
Estiaan passed away just a few hours ago in the Red Cross Childrens' Hospital in Cape Town.
In mid-April doctors managed to remove 40% of the tumour and during the past month Estiaan put up a brave fight and touched every heart in George and surrounds.
His heartbroken parents, Alfrieda and Stefan, have no medical aid and the community has started various fundraising initiatives to assist them with the huge medical bills.
Tomorrow, Saturday 19 May, Sors Grobbelaar, a local fighter from George and an instructor at Scorpions Martial Arts Academy & Two Brothers Combat Institute will be fighting a Professional Muaythai (Thai Boxing) fight in Cape Town, against one of South Africa's top Muaythai fighters, Dumani Mtya.
Sors will be using this fight to aid the Fight 4 Estiaan campaign in an effort to help raise funds for Estiaan's outstanding medical bills.
People who wish to support the Fight 4 Estiaan, are asked to deposit R15 (or more) into a bank account.
Banking details are Absa George, A Nel, account number 9073347593, reference 'Fight 4 Estiaan - YOUR NAME'.
For more details contact 082 589 1763.
Our condolences and sympathy to Estiaan's family during this sad and tragic time.
