Blisters for Bread: A Fun Walk for a Good Cause

The Blisters for Bread Charity Family Fun Walk is an annual event that brings participants of all ages and fitness levels together to walk in support of the Peninsula School Feeding Association. This year’s event is slated for Sunday, 27 August on Sea Point Promenade and Beach Road.

Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

Participants have the unique opportunity to embrace a worthy cause while stepping out of their comfort zone. Some may even choose to walk barefoot and risk a blister or two while taking on the 10-kilometre or 5-kilometre challenge. This gesture reinforces the event’s focus on creating awareness around child hunger.

Raising Money to Feed Hungry School Children

The main objective of the fundraiser is to raise money to feed hungry school children in the Western Cape. The Blisters for Bread Charity Family Fun Walk promises not only to be an unforgettable event for the entire family but also to contribute significantly to the fight against child hunger.
