Thousands to walk for charity
ABOUT 40 000 feet will tread the streets of Green Point and Sea Point in aid of charity on Sunday 3 March when the 14th annual Sunshine D Polar Ice Cream 10km Big Walk takes place.
Over 7 000 people attended the inaugural Big Walk in 2000 and the event has since grown into one of the biggest sporting events in Cape Town, attracting more than 20 000 participants annually. People’s Post is the print media sponsor. Walkers are expected to turn out in their numbers again this year, and Dr Elias Parker, convenor of the executive committee, believes the walk owes its popularity to the family friendly atmosphere. “This is a clean, family fun-filled road walking event,” says Parker, adding while the event attracts many serious walkers it also has a “bigger social context. The fundraising aspect (also plays a part in which) people identify with the objectives and the fun-filled nature of the event”. This year the Red Cross Children’s Hospital Trust and Islamic Library will again be the beneficiaries of the money raised by the walkers. Since the first event over R1.35m has been raised for the Hospital Trust and been used to upgrade and maintain the hospital’s facilities and improve life for the hospital’s many sickly children.
Last year alone R150 000 was raised for the hospital, and substantial sums have also been donated to the Islamic Library, the organisation’s other main charity beneficiary. The Big Walk has also donated large sums of money to the League of the Friends of the Blind and Gift of the Givers. Any funds donated to the Hospital Fund this year will be used for the construction of a new radiology department at the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, which is expected to cost over R40m. Prizes for a post-race draw include two airline tickets to Dubai and $500 spending money; a R15 000 training programme through College of Cape Town; and a laptop with a 320gig hard drive. Other prizes at the draw will include an 84cm TV, several pairs of walking shoes, mountain bikes and PlayStations. All race finishers will receive a medal. Proteas bowler Vernon Philander will also be at the Big Walk. Entry is R30 and forms can be collected at, among others, Tekkie Town outlets, the Islamic Library in Gatesville and the Golden Feather Spur in Vangate Mall. Entries close on Monday 25 February and registration is from Monday 28 February to Saturday 2 March. For more information call (021) 637 1607 or visit www.bigwalk10km.co.za.
