Be an angel (come on!)
The walk is 5km around the inside of the zoo. The entrance fee is R80 for adults and R40 for children under 15. Bottled water will be supplied. Prizes will be given to the 10 best wings for children, women and men and we will be selling raffle tickets with some great prizes ranging from spa vouchers to jewellery.
After the walk we have various forms of entertainment ie guest speakers, self defence exhibition, belly dancing, yoga, the Cool Catz from etv and much more . Various cancer organisations have been invited to participate and a programme of their activities will follow.
Proceeds of funds raised will be used to upgrade the Oncology Clinic at the Johannesburg General Hospital making this more comfortable for patients by supplying a desperately needed PA System, radios & televisions, curtains, chairs for chemo and waiting areas, air conditioners, pillows and blankets, hospital beds and a weekly supply of fresh fruit.
On average this unit sees 600 cancer patients per week and is one of the only 'free' Oncology Clinics in Johannesburg where you can undergo chemo. A patient pays R40 for treatment which can cost up to R36 000.
