I first became aware of the great work that JustBe is doing in the community some years ago and since then I’ve taken part in several of the events. During lockdown JustBe was a real life saver for me because not only were the virtual activities varied but the content and speakers were second to none. I am never ceased to be amazed at the relentless energy and giving spirit of the organisers and moderators, especially Yvette who’s dedication shows up time and time again.
As someone who has been an avid ‘walker’ since my teens I jumped at the opportunity to take part in this years 10k sponsored walk for such a worthwhile cause and at the same time participate in an activity that I enjoy tremendously. The elderly in the community are often ignored in our society so the cause that the sponsorship monies are going towards really appealed to me.
I can truly say that taking part in the recent sponsored walk was a delight and a real pleasure. Not only because of the worthy cause but l also connected with some amazing and genuine women. In true JustBe style each participant received refreshments throughout the walk and at the end of the walk we were all given beautiful and very generous gifts of appreciation.
I’m really looking forward to repeating the experience next year.
