There are several events taking place over the next week in support of cancer awareness; these are the walks you can take part in.

 

South Africa (24 October 2022) – Taking part in a cancer walk is an easy way to give back, spend quality time with loved ones and get active. We have been sent a few so thought a list of the upcoming cancer walks would be useful.

Each event is hosted by either a charity or an organisation that will then contribute towards a chosen charity.

We have listed the organisation, the location and the date of the event. If we have missed an event, let us know.
