Wilde Wheelchairs in action

Inspiring athletes participated in the annual Mitchells Plain Wheelchair Race which was held at the Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre. This was the race's third consecutive year of providing disabled athletes with an opportunity to shine and Wilde Fruit Juice was there to tantalise some taste buds!

The race boasts several categories which include Paraplegics, Quadriplegics and Cerebral Palsy. Professional athletes took part in a challenging 22km race, whilst beginners tested their skills in an 800m sprint and another race for powered wheelchairs.

Wilde Fruit Juice would like to congratulate Zanele who was the winner of the ladies 6km race, pictured below with her proud daughter. And well done to all athletes for taking part in this event.
Should you wish to join in on the fun next year, please take a look at the Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre website for additional information.
