FOR the first time since the event’s inception in 2001, South Africa’s largest Women’s Day celebration, the Totalsports Women’s Race, supporting PinkDrive, will be hosted on one day, 9 August, across three major cities Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town.
PinkDrive, a non-profit company, is committed to improving breast cancer awareness, education, and providing and offering free services to the medically uninsured across South Africa. PinkDrive will
offer free clinical breast examinations and educating on the importance of self- breast examinations at the race.
Janice Benecke, PinkDrive KZN administrator, said: “We love this race in Durban. Even the men get dressed up (in pink) and join in the fun.”
According to Fébé Meyer, PinkDrive Marketing Manager, the significance of hosting this event on Women’s Day adds so much more meaning to this event.
