Support Andre Snyman's Fight Against Brain Tumor

On October 18, 2024, former South African Springbok rugby player and current Valor Christian High School Rugby Club girls coach, Andre Snyman, was diagnosed with a vestibular schwannoma (otherwise known as an acoustic neuroma), which is a tumor that grows in the ear canal affecting his brain. The side effects have been debilitating for Andre, and he is no longer able to drive or move without concern due to his balance being impacted. He will undergo surgery in mid-January to hopefully remove the tumor. While the recovery time is expected to be 3 months post-surgery, there are immediate challenges that Andre and his family are navigating - both medical and non-medical.

To help alleviate the added pressure of this unexpected health crisis that Andre finds himself in, I have created this GoFundMe so that friends, members of the rugby community, colleagues, and those who feel so inclined are able to aid in his immediate time of need and post-surgery recovery.

Along with helping to provide assistance for Andre and his family, I am sure you will all join me in wishing him success with his impending surgery and a speedy recovery thereafter.
