About our 100km Walk for cancer

Cancer is a debilitating sickness for those affected by it. Not only does it affect the patient, but also their loved ones.

The impact of cancer does not stop with the effect on the patient’s health but due to the high cost of treatment and extended periods off work, the patient has to deal with a financial impact as well.

It has become imperative that communities come together to offer support to the people affected by cancer and the institutions working to research treatment, support patients and provide education relating to the prevention and early detection of the disease.
Organizations like CANSA and Campaigning for Cancer rely on the income generated from fundraising events and projects To sustain the Care and Support They Provide to those affected by cancer.

In addition to the impact this illness has on the patient and his loved ones, there is an additional major impact on the workplace environment.
Companies have to compensate for the loss in productivity from the patient and the emotional impact their illness has on their colleges. As a consequence of the above, we have decided to launch a fundraising and awareness campaign that we believe will bring together the corporate and private sectors to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.

The campaign will bring together 20 – 30 individuals who are willing to walk 100km over 5 days during July 2025.
These individuals will engage with the public through personal interaction, the media, and social media to provide education about cancer and early detection and to simultaneously raise funds for a reputable cancer support provider.

In addition, the team will be joined by individuals willing to support the group on their walk.
The support group will join the walk from time to time and assist with logistics. The 100 km will be made up of 20km daily stretches around Gauteng, starting in Centurion and ending in Alberton.
Dates: Tuesday 22 July – Saturday 26 July 2025
