Don’t miss the Nappy Run today
PARKVIEW – People are invited to come in their numbers and support the Nappy Run at the Johannesburg Zoo to raise funds to go towards the purchase of nappies necessary for the well-being of children with disabilities.
Among South Africa’s children, is a vulnerable and sadly, often marginalised group, whose rights are just as deserving of attention, and those are children with disabilities.
The 3 November marks National Children’s Day and purposefully coinciding with the day is the 2018 Nappy Run™ campaign’s 5km fun run event that aims to raise funds for nappies, an essential yet costly product needed by most children with disabilities.
Public and media relations manager at Nadia Rossouw Public Relations and Communications, Lara Rothwell, provided some background on the event.
Further background on the Nappy Run™:
Organised by the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities, a non-profit organisation that specialises in the protection of rights of children with disabilities, the Nappy Run™ event forms part of a larger Nappy Run™ campaign. The two-pronged purpose of this national campaign is primarily aimed at educating the public on the violation of the rights of children with disabilities, our country’s most marginalised and vulnerable group of people, while appealing to the public for online donations which go towards the purchase of nappies, a vital incontinence-management product for children with disabilities.
