Benoni’s Amy-Lee Jones walked to raise funds for the TLC Children’s Home in the MTN Walk the Talk with 702 last year, and she is ready to do it again this year.
Having first participated in the walk when she was just 18 months old, Amy-Lee said there is nothing she enjoys more than the festive atmosphere of the event.

“I wanted to make a difference in the lives of the children at TLC,” Amy-Lee said.
“I love spending the day cuddling the tiny babies and playing with the toddlers and pre-schoolers, although I don’t get there as often as I’d like to.”
The Grade Four learner’s message to her peers who would like to make a difference in other people’s lives is they must be motivated and do their best to help the cause that is meaningful to them.
The MTN Walk the Talk with 702 event attracts thousands of people, with a cap at 50 000 walkers annually.
The event takes place on July 28 at the Marks Park Spots Club, Emmarentia, Johannesburg.
