NATIONAL NEWS - If you’re planning to be at this year’s Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival, then make sure you don’t miss the Pick n Pay’s Women’s Walk, which will set off from the Festival grounds on Sunday 12 July at 08:00.

As always, the walk isn’t restricted to women, so feel free to bring along the whole family and your friends – all are welcome for this fun, untimed, 5-km walk.

The walks are held all around South Africa to raise funds for PinkDrive, a public benefit organisation that provides free breast-cancer screening for women around the country. PinkDrive is present at every walk where they offer free breast examinations, as well as the opportunity to talk to a representative about any breast-related matters.

A walk village will be set up at the festival grounds, which will also be the start and finish points of the walk; and walkers can look forward to entertainment courtesy of local performer Heather Waters and Nuline Dance Academy. Curves will be doing a warm-up to make sure your muscles are ready for the walk and even the Knysna’s Mayor Georlene Wolmarans will be making an appearance at the event!

Lucky draws will take place throughout the event; and hot and cold refreshments will be on sale before and after the walk. Everyone who finishes the walk will receive a medal and a goodie-bag full of products.
