Development and Alumni Department (DAD) staffers Jasmine Erasmus, Rochelle Muir, Ondria Curtin, Anita Wildeman, Candice Egan, and Amanda Williams and their partners braved the cold and rainy weather on Sunday 8 November to participate in the Discovery-Cape Times Big Walk.

The team joined thousands of walkers who took to the Mother City's streets on a route that included a turn through Gugulethu.

Sporting their UCT AIR T-shirts, the team walked a 5km stretch between Newlands and Mowbray. They've set their sights on 10km next year.

"The atmosphere was great and I felt it was well organised," said Muir. "It was motivation enough for me to know that at the end of the walk we would each receive a medal."
