This purple spectacle, taking place this year on Friday 24 March, attracts its fair share of shrieks and giggles from onlookers, but Hollard’s ballsy run underpins a far more important message – to run male cancers out of town by highlighting the importance of early detection and treatment of prostate and testicular cancer.

Early detection is important when it comes to all types of cancers. There is a financial conundrum: early detection of cancer doesn’t necessarily reduce the unexpected cost of managing your recovery. Did you know that many traditional critical illness policies typically exclude early (stage 0) cancers?

This is where Hollard Life’s Comprehensive Cancer Cover comes in. The defining feature of this benefit is that it provides complete cover for a wider range of cancers from stage 0 (early cancer) to stage 4. In other words, you’re covered for cancer from the very first diagnosis even if the cancer has not invaded the surrounding tissue.

Hollard’s comprehensive cancer insurance covers you on the diagnosis of both invasive and non-invasive tumours. Up to a maximum of R100 000 will be paid for an early cancer (stage 0) event.

Finally, talk to your financial adviser about Hollard’s Comprehensive Cancer Cover and get financially fit to handle whatever crisis life may throw at you – and know that if cancer is in your future, the only thing you will need to worry about is your return to health.
