The Psychosocial Welfare Services took the initiative to have a 5 to 10 Km walk in support of people living with cancer. It was held on 12 October 2012 at the Simon’s Town Sports field and coincided with National Bandanna Day that will be held on 26 October this year.


 

The first ever National Bandanna day was held in 1994 in Australia. The bandanna is a symbol to remind people about the experience of those who live with cancer.

R Adm (JG) D.G. Jamieson opened the event encouraging the members to enjoy the walk and think about why they are doing it. The members that were participating in the walk were all exited and started walking in good spirit.

The walk started at the Simon’s Town sports field following the route pass IMM until the 10 Km turning point for those who dared walking so far. The day turned out well and everyone who participated seemed to have enjoyed the walk.

Well done to the Psychosocial Welfare Services for arranging such a successful event.
