BEAUTY queen and fitness enthusiast, Trisha Poona, has challenged fellow Durbanites to step into action in support of The Association For The Aged (Tafta’s) Annual Trail Run.

Poona is set to join hundreds of runners and walkers, who will test their endurance, celebrate health and fitness and build on community participation through the annual Tafta event. All proceeds from the event will contribute towards providing a three course meal to Tafta elders during the festive season. Participants are also called on to bring along an item of toiletry that will be donated to Tafta’s needy pensioners as part of its Christmas campaign.

Poona says she decided to throw her support behind Tafta as a result of her love and respect for the elderly and her passion for healthy living. “We hosted a Christmas lunch every year for the elders at Tafta when I was a pupil at Northlands Girls’ High School. It was such a joyful afternoon filled with eats, gifts and entertainment that we managed to put together,” said Poona.
“I loved being part of the festivities especially watching the smile on the faces of these wonderful people was priceless. The money raised from this event ensures that the eldersat Tafta have a wonderful Christmas party that they deserve,” she added
