What an amazing experience it was for an
amazing cause!
We were up at 5am to make sure that we
were ready for the first walk which kicked off at 7h30 this Saturday morning!
Sisters With Blisters is an initiative
started by Jacaranda FM and involves thousands of people walking and taking a
stand against woman and child abuse. And literally thousands of people pitched
up for todays event.
We got onto the float to kick the first
walk off and already I was in awe of the amount of people that came out to
support the initiative. If the first walk was anything to go by then the rest
was definitely going to be amazing!
It was not soon until we decided to get
off the float and join the men and woman in the walk, some in heels and some in
fairy outfits all sporting pink!! Even some of the guys were wearing heels! I
take my hat off to them as 8km is quite a distance to do in heels, but well
worth it!
The dog walk took off soon after with
some canines sporting their own pink endowed outfits!
After having a quick lunch and something
to drink we made our way to the starting point again to kick off the last walk
of the day and this time around the masses of people walking had multiplied in
size!
As we encouraged the ladies along the
route it was clear that there was a lot of support for this cause and I am
pretty sure that next year the turnout is probably going to double in size!
If you have not yet done the walk yet I
urge you to join us next year and show your support! I know I will be doing it
every year from now on and remember, it does not end at the finish line, this
is something that people have to live by and constantly push to reduce woman
and child abuse.
Thank you to Jacaranda for taking the
time out to organize something so amazing all in aid of charity! You guys are
super stars in my books!
