Kevin Darville, of 100 JAMZ, with participants at the annual Push/Walkathon at Sandilands on Saturday morning.

THE TEAM from 100 JAMZ and the “Jambulance” were out early on Saturday morning to support the Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre and the Geriatric Hospital at its fifth annual Push/Walkathon at the Sandilands ground on Fox Hill Road.

The JAMZ team from Radio House volunteered at the event to assist where needed and also offered giveaways and congratulations to participants as they crossed the finish line. People could be pushed in wheelchairs, pushers, walk or run.

The theme of the event, which began as an effort to increase the awareness of healthy aging and the importance of physical activity for older people in the community, was “Celebrating Graceful Aging”. The race helped raise funds for the daily services provided to the Geriatric Hospital and outpatient clients such as educational seminars, rehabilitation and recreational services.
