Run/Walk For Life Windhoek

David Hartley, a member of RWFL Windhoek, shared his inspiring journey with us:
“Since joining RWFL, I’ve lost 11 kg. Two years at a popular gym, and I lost nothing—giving me a very empty wallet. Even more importantly, with the help of my sugar medication, and I believe largely because of RWFL, my sugar levels dropped from 6.7 to 5.6. That is what I’m most proud of!

Walking as exercise was never on my radar. I always believed gym workouts were the answer, but RWFL changed that for me. I only joined the FitSlim challenge because of Hannelie, thinking it would be a once-off. But from the moment I joined the group, I felt relieved. I no longer had to face my fitness journey alone.

From day one, I felt accepted. It is so lekker to walk with a group. It brings camaraderie, friendship, and the comforting feeling that I am not alone in this. Some evenings are tough, but my teammates are always there with me. We do it together. Lekker.”

Drivers Can’t Avoid What They Can’t See

🚗 Winter means:
• Earlier sunsets
• Reduced visibility
• More glare from headlights
• Harder conditions for drivers to spot pedestrians and runners

That’s why reflective gear matters so much during evening sessions.

A reflective vest or shirt can make you visible from far greater distances — giving motorists more time to react safely.

💡 Small safety habits make a huge difference:
✔ Reflective clothing
✔ Avoid dark outfits
✔ Stay aware of your surroundings
✔ Remove earphones when crossing roads

Let’s look after ourselves and each other this winter. 🟡

👟 Stay active. Stay visible. Stay safe.
