Valentine’s Day is all about love, and this Saturday (14 February), Amanzimtoti is calling on you to show you have heart by entering the Big Walk for Young Warriors – Childhood Cancer Awareness Walk. It’s all about dressing up, showing up and stepping out for children bravely fighting cancer.

This will be a 5km community walk starting at Lords & Legends Sports Café on Riverside Road from 7am. And when they say everyone is invited – they mean everyone! You’re welcome to bring your fur babies (properly leashed of course) to accompany you on the walk.

Organisers have lots planned for the day, including fun lucky draws with great prizes, plus a Best Dressed Team Challenge, so go big and bold if you want to go home with a great prize.  All funds raised go to Khanya Hospice in Umkomaas, supporting young cancer warriors and their families. Every R30 entry helps make a difference.
