All participants will receive a bandana and all finishers will be awarded a medal, a symbol of solidarity and strength.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The morning promises more than just a walk. Formalities will begin at 07:45, followed by the official start at 08:30. Walkers can look forward to a festive, family-friendly atmosphere with exciting lucky draws, entertainment and plenty to enjoy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no need to pack a picnic basket and no cooking is required, as a wide variety of food stalls will be selling cakes, desserts and other treats on the day, creating a vibrant community market atmosphere.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who may not have registered in advance, late entries will be accepted on the day from 06:00 to 07:00, ensuring no-one is turned away from supporting this worthy cause.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True to its founding values, the Boland Pink Walk serves and supports cancer patients across all communities, embracing people of every colour, creed and race, because cancer does not discriminate and neither does compassion.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boland Pink Walk is more than an event; it is a reminder that together we are stronger, that hope walks beside us, and that every step truly counts. By participating, the community helps fund critical oncology services while sending a powerful message of love and support to cancer patients and their families. Walk with purpose. Walk with hope. Walk for cancer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\uf06e For more information or to enter the walk, contact Sumaya Gabier on 084 010 1003 or sumayagbbier@gmail.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For 21 remarkable years the Boland Pink Walk \u2013 Walk for Cancer \u2013 has stood as a beacon of hope, unity and compassion in the local community.
