On Sunday the 24th July, 50 000 Jo’burgers took to the streets to participate in the Annual 702 WALK the TALK. ‘Die hard’ walkers were up at the crack of dawn- a very chilly dawn at that and lined up at the start to kick off the day’s proceedings with a gruelling 30km walk, followed by the 15km, 8km & 5km. Not forgetting our furry friends, many walkers registered the dogs to join them on the walk, all of which were sporting the “Pedigree” pet bandanas.
Three from our Barker Team – Keri, Kim & Louise accompanied by one of our BIB Clients, Pippa King, tackled the 15km walk. We managed to complete the walk in 2h28mins, which gave us plenty of time to catch up on the weeks gossip, what’s happening in Grey’s Anatomy and solve the world’s problems! At the end of the walk, we all agreed that walking definitely isn’t for sissies and walking following the event proved to be quite challenging.

Overall, it was a fulfilling event with lots of excitement, fantastic energy and great company.
