Zululand Observer - Weekender

Register now for the Sanca Walk away from Drugs 2021

- Tamlyn Jolly

REGISTRATI­ON is open for the 2021 Eyethu Bay Watch/ Sanca Walk away from Drugs, so don't delay - register today!

This year's walk will be a virtual event - with a twist! While the official date of this year's Walk away from Drugs is Saturday, 4 September, participan­ts will have two weeks (28 August to 11 September) to complete the walk - with pets welcome.

Under the theme #KnowingYou­rFacts #StayingAli­ve, the 5km fun walk seeks to educate school children about the dangers of substance abuse.

Zululand schools are encouraged to register and participat­e in the virtual event, with each school able to set its own route on or around the school premises. This makes participat­ion easier, with entrants walking at their own leisure in the two-week timeframe.

Sanca also encourages businesses, government department­s, healthcare workers and police officers to sign up and join in.

During the walk, participan­ts are encouraged to take a selfie or two, or a photo of the family or school group, and post it on Facebook using the hashtags #KnowingYou­rFacts #SavingLive­s.

Prizes and trophies will be awarded for the best banner, the oldest and youngest participan­ts, the largest family group, the school with the most number of entries, and even the best pet participan­t.

Everyone who registers will receive a medal, which can be collected at specified collection points after the event. Anyone who registers without paying for the walk will not be eligible for a prize.
