NATURE’S Rest hosted a beach fun run and charity market day on Saturday to create a platform for local charity organisations to raise funds for their cause, and public awareness about the organisations.
Guardians of Hope SA was the lucky organisation that received all proceeds to them.
“The run created a platform where various charities, big and small can be granted equal opportunity to raise funds for their cause and for public awareness about these organisations;all the great work they do.
“Enthusiastic runners ensured a good outcome and also gave us very positive feedback about their running experience. We intend to continue this as an annual event that will continue to grow year on year and we already have many of the charities from this year enthusiastic about being part of the next event,” said resort manager Gré-Marr Hattingh.
