3000 walkers are expected to take to the beachfront promenade in order to create awareness of this “silent killer’ disease.
Not only will they be hosting a water table but their staff will be participating in the walk and they have also donated over R50 000 worth of hospitality prizes for lucky draws including family getaways to the Berg, the Bush, the Beach or the Battlefields at their various Gooderson Leisure destinations within South Africa.
Gail Westphal, the sales and marketing general manager of the group said, “I am so pleased that the majority of the Gooderson Leisure staff have accepted the challenge to participate in the walk, not only can we consider this a 'mini team building exercise', it also shows that our staff as a whole want to embrace a healthy lifestyle.”
“It would be fantastic if other hospitality groups within the Province join us, by accepting the challenge,” adds Westphal.
The R50 per person entrance fee will go to helping underprivileged diabetics. The first 1500 walkers over the finish line will receive a goodie-bag courtesy of Diabetes SA’s sponsors.
Registration can be done on
www.diabetessa.co.za or on the day between 07:00 and 07:45.
Both participants and supporters can receive free glucose, BMI, kidney function and blood pressure tests from the various exhibitors taking part at the
Healthy Lifestyle and Wellness Expo.
