Bling for Bravery is celebrating the courage of children recovering from surgery in Gauteng orthopaedic hospitals by giving them donated race medals. The initiative recognises the resilience of these young patients and the bravery they show every day.

Gauteng residents can donate medals at Crunch Fitness in Benoni, Cycle Lab in Fourways, or Run-A-Way Sport in Pretoria. Drop-offs are open until 30 January.
