Community embraces Bedford Centre Walk for Charity
“There is no winner, everyone is a winner today,” said Nikki Savides, marketing manager at Bedford Centre.
Residents from all over came out to support the Bedford Centre Walk for Charity, where R68 000 was raised on October 18.
The proceeds of the walk were donated to St Giles Association for the Handicapped and Avalon Home for the Disabled.
Each charity walked away with R34 000 after numerous families joined in on the 5km fun walk.
Kensington resident Mark Chatham crossed the finish line in first place while Mpumi Mlshali from Midrand crossed in second place.
“There is no winner, everyone is a winner today,” said Nikki Savides, marketing manager at Bedford Centre.
Run/Walk For Life handed out medals to all participants of the walk.
The day continued with a celebration for all the participants.
Calisto’s Portuguese Restaurant, Salsa Mexican Grill, Planet Fitness, Leapfrog Property Group and KwikFit Bedfordview all had stalls in support of the walk and some provided spot prizes for participants.
The day also boasted entertainment with live music to keep everyone moving to the beat.
There were also jumping castles and face painting for the children and food stalls.
“Thank you to all those who participated and donated to this year’s Bedford Centre Walk for Charity,” said Savides.
