In-tweets: Thousands of avid runners celebrate 10 years of Hollard’s #DareDevilRun
JOBURG – Men have taken to the streets of Joburg to raise awareness about prostate and testicular cancer.
Thousands of men and women painted the town purple in their purple swimwear at the annual 10th Hollard DareDevil Run.
The run started at Zoo Lake and this is so awareness can be raised about prostate and testicular cancer on 13 March.
The Daredevil Run is a massive countrywide phenomenon. The 5 km run is not just about doing a little something daring and fun but also about raising awareness and at the same time, using the power of collective action to inspire positive change.
All the funds raised from the participants’ entry fees go towards cancer screening and awareness programmes across the country.
This website’s journalist, Naidine Sibanda is at the event.
