Entries open on Monday, 15 September for the Algoa FM Boardwalk Big Walk for Cancer which will take place at The Boardwalk on Saturday, October 25.
The Boardwalk is the new partner to the Big Walk for Cancer, which is one of the biggest charity events on the Eastern Cape calendar.
The Igazi Foundation is the beneficiary of this year’s walk, with the funds going towards moving the Dora Nginza paediatric oncology ward to Provincial Hospital, which is home to the Igazi Foundation’s haematology ward.
The current 6-bed ward at Dora Nginza will not be able to accommodate the expected increase in childhood cancer patients in the next 3-5 years.
The target for this year’s event is 12 000 participants, according to Jennilee Peremore, Public Relations and Corporate Social Investment Manager at Algoa FM.
This year’s route will take participants through the foyer of The Boardwalk hotel.
Both the start and the finish of the five kilometre walk are at The Boardwalk.
Entrants can hand in their forms and R50 entry fees at The Boardwalk Spur restaurant and Brian Bands in Cape Road. An online entry system will also be available on the Algoa FM website.
The closing date for entries to the Big Walk is Wednesday, 22 October. T-shirts will be given to the first 6 000 paid entrants including children and adults.
Registration will take place on Thursday, 23 and Friday 24 October from 13h00 to 19h00 and Saturday, 25 October from 06h00 to 07h30 at The Boardwalk - Expo Level 1.
The walk starts at 08h00 on the Saturday morning.
