Durban model supports Tafta Trail Run
Julia Petersen has called on fitness enthusiasts to join in this fun-filled experience.
DURBAN model and former Miss South Africa finalist Julia Petersen has pledged to support The Association for the Aged (Tafta) in its annual Trail Run event on Sunday, 19 November at Virginia Bush Nature Reserve.
The event, which resonates Tafta’s mission to “Inspire Active Ageing”, provides the public an opportunity to make a valuable difference in the lives of needy senior citizens through their participation. All proceeds from the event will contribute towards providing a three-course meal to Tafta elders during the festive period.
“We are delighted to have Julia Petersen support our event which not only celebrates the amazing running scenery at our doorstep, it’s also about inspiring people to make running an adventure, to push their limits and have fun while supporting a worthy cause,” said Gail Samuels, divisional manager, Income Development and Marketing.
