About Victoria’s Promise:
Victoria’s Promise is a charity that was founded to keep the promise of Victoria Van der Westhuizen, whom having been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer, at age 29, 6 months after her father had passed from the disease, vowed to use her experience to go onto support others that are having to undergo the same journey.
Victoria did not see her 30th birthday, however, her family decided to keep her promise. The charity is now supporting over 600 young women and their families with tightly knit community, educational and empowering meet-ups, workshops, nature days, counselling, bereavement and domestic support.
Victoria’s Promise launched an app in 2021 to support young women with any cancer internationally. 600 women across the world are already using the app, which welcomes women between the ages of 18 and 50 and their families in providing access to a highly supportive community at every stage in their cancer journey.
