Join the masses at 'Angels Walking for Cancer' on Sunday, 29th August at the Johannesburg Zoo. The walk is open to men, women and children (no pets allowed) and walkers are encouraged to come along in their wings in the colour of the cancer they support. The distance is 5km and the entry fee for adults is R80, R40 for children under 15 and no charge for children under 3. The walk starts at 08h00 – registration opens from 06.30.
Angels Walking is in its 3rd year and is a fundraising concept where they walk and raise money for Cancer. Proceeds of funds raised this year will be used to upgrade the Oncology Clinic at the Johannesburg General Hospital. This unit sees approximately 600 patients per week.
After the walk they have various forms of entertainment in the Healthy Living Village ranging from massages, reiki, manicures, card readings, face painting and more. The ‘Cool Catz’ from e.tv will be entertaining the children.
Sunflower Fund, CANSA, Bosom Buddies, People Living with Cancer, Campaigning for Cancer, Journey of Hope and Breast Buddies are some of the organisations that will be present to talk to you and tell you what they do.
