Vryheid residents are being encouraged to lace up their running shoes this Saturday for a charity run and walk in support of the local VAWS Animal Shelter.

The event, hosted by WeRise Women’s Ministry, takes place on Saturday, October 10, at the Vryheid Golf Club, with the starting time set for 07:00.

Walk, jog or run

Participants can choose to walk, jog or run, making the event suitable for families, friends and fitness enthusiasts.

Organisers are also appealing to the community to support the shelter by donating much-needed supplies.

The donation list includes dog food, cat food, blankets, sand, sandboxes, brooms, mops and buckets, although any donation is welcome.
