SPAR FAMILY CHALLENGE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR REACH FOR A DREAM<br />
If you have always wanted to<br />
give back to<br />
your community but had no<br />
idea how, SPAR Family Challenge<br />
has a healthy way to<br />
help you do that.<br />
The annual SPAR Family<br />
Challenge fun run event on<br />
October 8 will raise funds for<br />
Reach for a Dream (RFAD) –<br />
an institution for terminally-ill<br />
children in the East<br />
London area.<br />
RFAD’s Eastern Cape<br />
branch manager Ronell Davel<br />
said they are very pleased<br />
to have been this year’s beneficiary<br />
because the money<br />
raised would help terminallyill<br />
children realise their<br />
dreams.<br />
“The East London community<br />
are always supportive, not<br />
just to us but to all the charities<br />
and we are very grateful<br />
for that,” she said.<br />
By realising the dreams, Davel<br />
said they want to bring<br />
hope to the lives of the children.<br />
“They forget all about their<br />
treatment and the pain that it<br />
brings. Their excitement is<br />
priceless,” Davel said.<br />
She said in one month, they<br />
help realise at least 26<br />
dreams. RFAD assists children<br />
from three to 18 years<br />
old, who are battling illnesses<br />
such as leukaemia, HIV and<br />
Aids, duchenne muscular dystrophy,<br />
liver sclerosis, nephrotic<br />
syndrome and cancer.<br />
The SPAR Family Challenge<br />
consists of 5km and 9.8km<br />
runs. Participants in both races<br />
will start from Beaconhurst<br />
School then go along Avalon<br />
Road, Imp Lane, Junction<br />
Road and Hillcrest Drive and<br />
back to finish at the school.<br />
Eastern Cape promotions<br />
and advertising controller Roseann<br />
Shadrach said, with<br />
their emphasis on family participation<br />
and healthy lifestyles,<br />
the SPAR Family<br />
Challenge was a perfect fit<br />
for the retailer.<br />
She said participants would<br />
be treated to some spectacular<br />
entertainment, including a<br />
special performance by comedian<br />
Gino Fabbri and emcee<br />
Graham Gordon. There<br />
would also be lucky draw<br />
incentives, one of which is a<br />
spa treatment and a lunch at<br />
Miarestate Boutique Hotel<br />
and Spa.<br />
