PODCAST: As winter approaches, the risk of burn injuries increases. During National Burns Awareness Week, the National Burn Association of South Africa’s Sharon Jones and Colin Lee spoke to POWER98.7 about this year’s theme, “Protect, Prevent, Heal,” and shared essential information on staying safe and supporting burn survivors.

Sometimes, when you least expect it, but may need it, an incident from the past pops in to your life. Such was the case this Saturday upon meeting Candice, a burn survivor from Oceans View. In the first few minutes of interaction Candice told Sharon and I that she had been on a burn survivor camp some 23 years ago.
