Aerocare’s flight from Bloemfontein to Nelspruit to pick up a cancer patient, Danie Snyman, 16 years old, was truly a Mercy Flight. Danie’s parents heard about a rehab centre for cancer patients in Yzerfontein and wanted to take their son there. Danie’s uncle volunteered to pay for the flight to take the boy to the rehab centre. Danie’s mother accompanied her son on the flight. This is the last that his family can do for him.
