From humble beginnings 43 years ago the Blisters for Bread charity walk has become Cape Town’s favourite Charity Family Fun Walk. “Last year we had just over 16 000 walkers joining us, raising just over R800 000,” said PSFA’s fundraiser, Janine Tilley. “All the funds that are raised go directly to our vital school feeding programme so that more learners can be fed, three out four children in the Western Cape come to school hungry and you can’t teach a hungry child” continued Tilley. “We are very grateful for Peninsula Beverages and the various Lions Clubs that have supported our initiative since its inception, their support is invaluable.”

Dan Davis, special services manager at PenBev said, “Blisters for Bread is an important initiative for PenBev to be involved with and forms part of our Live for a Difference initiative of promoting active healthy lifestyles. Walking is an important and healthy way of exercising and we will ensure that the walkers during Blisters for Bread, (approximately 18000 this year) will be sufficiently hydrated throughout the walk, with approximately 10 000 litres of Coca-Cola and 20 tons of ice on hand.”

Blisters for Bread will be taking place on Sunday, 26 August at the Green Point Cricket Club. For more information or to register, visit www.psfa.org.za/blisters_for_bread. For more information on the propjects that PenBev are involved with, click through to www.penbev.co.za.
