A CAUSE WORTH RUNNING The Vital Foundation, in association with Run/Walk for Life Western Province Athletics Club, successfully hosted the fourth annual Vital Run in aid of the PATCH Helderberg Centre for Abused Children on Saturday, 7 December 2013. The event, which drew an estimated 3 800 enthusiastic finishers, once again took place at the Lourensford Wine Estate. It was thanks to all this year’s entrants that a cheque for R25 000 was handed over to PATCH. It was through the relationship with PATCH, that Vital Health Foods was made acutely aware of the horrific statistics associated with woman and child abuse. In order to make a tangible difference, Vital Health Foods launched the R1 makes a difference campaign. This is the pledge that for every Vital supplement purchased, Vital Health Foods will donate R1 to the Vital Foundation – which has been created to support organisations specialising in abuse. It is with events like this that the Vital Foundation will lead the fight against woman and child abuse in South Africa. Photo: Vergelegen Mediclinic
