ABOUT iTHEMBA WALKATHON
This year marks the 16th edition of the iThemba Walkathon, which will once again be a virtual walk. Due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, this year’s walk will again feature decentralised walks. This aims at encouraging participants to walk in small groups in their local neighbourhoods across the country.
“The third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic is upon us, and we need to painstakingly heed the health and safety protocols aimed at curbing the further transmission of the virus,” says Mafahle Mareletse, Managing Director of Avon Justine Turkey, Middle East & Africa. “It is equally important that we should also keep the momentum in the fight against breast cancer by supporting frontline organisations and people infected and affected by breast cancer. This year we’re inviting all iThemba Walkers to walk with a purpose, to join the crusade against breast cancer, to give from the heart and take some time to walk with us and help us raise funds for a good cause. We urge everyone to join us as we paint South Africa pink as a sign of our pledge to fight breast cancer.”
Once again Avon will donate the proceeds generated from iThemba Walkathon frontline non-governmental organisations working with breast cancer survivors such as breast cancer support group Wings of Hope, the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA), Journeys, and Look Good… Feel Better (LGFB).
