Community unites in support

The Sharney Blackway cancer hike and picnic fundraiser took place at Rietvlei Zoo Farm, drawing a vibrant crowd united in support of cancer patients and survivors on May 3.

According to Blackway, the event was celebrated as a powerful demonstration of community spirit and solidarity.
“Participants gathered early in the morning, many dressed in pink and black activewear, symbolising strength and hope. The day featured a scenic hike through the beautiful surroundings of Rietvlei, followed by a lively picnic where attendees could relax, connect and share stories of resilience.”

Adding to the energetic atmosphere, Impumelelo Fitness Club led cardio fitness sessions, encouraging everyone to get active for a meaningful cause.

“All proceeds were dedicated to pampering cancer patients, reflecting Blackway’s commitment to supporting those battling the disease.”
Sharney Blackway described the event as “not just about raising funds; it is about celebrating life and showing love to those who need it most.”
