Get Walking for Breast-Cancer Awareness:
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to join us for our final walk of the year! We’d love to have you join us while we put on our pink for one last time this year and have a fun day out with friends and family, all in the name of this excellent cause.
This event is going to be particularly exciting as we’ll draw the winner of a brand new stylish and iconic FIAT 500! At each of the nine walks throughout the past year, walkers have been able to enter the competition to stand a chance to win this incredible prize. A finalist was chosen at each event and they will all be present at the Soweto Walk on 8 October. One last finalist still needs to be drawn on the day and it could be you, so make sure you don’t miss out!
While the core focus of the walks is always on raising awareness around breast cancer and early detection, this is our way of saying thank you to our dedicated supporters who continue to come out in their droves to support this incredible cause.
Please feel free to bring your entire family – that mean men and children too – and make a day of it! And if you’re concerned you may not be fit enough, no need to worry as this is not a timed walk and you can do it at your own pace, in your own time.
A walk village will be set up on Field B, FNB Stadium, Opposite Gate D, and this will be also be the start and finish points of the walk. Walkers will be treated to a host of fun activities on the day, including great live entertainment from everyone’s favourite former 2010 Idols runner up, Lloyd Cele. Delicious hot and cold snacks, such as yummy boerie rolls, will be for sale at the Pick n Pay Food stand before and after the walk.
Once the walk is over, it will be time to relax and enjoy the lucky draws and best-dressed competition, so make sure you dress to impress!
You’ll also get to sample delicious smoothies from our nutrition partner, Futurelife, and get to take some home too. To round off the day, everyone who finishes the walk will be presented with a medal and a bag choc-full of goodies. Sound good? Then make sure you get down to one of the Pick n Pay stores listed below and sign up.
Fiat 500 competition
Five lucky winners will be drawn once the walk has finished – those five winners will not only win a FIAT hamper on the day, but will also stand the chance of being entered into the national draw. From the five winners drawn on the day, one person will be randomly selected to be entered into the national draw to win the FIAT 500. The winner will be announced at the end of the series at the Pick n Pay Women’s Walk taking place in Soweto on 8 October 2016.
How to enter: At the walk village, place the FIAT-branded tab you’ll find on your race number into the specially marked box on the stage. Please note you have to be present on walk day to qualify.
