Windhoek residents took to the streets to participate in the Walk for Wheels charity event. The event aimed at assisting in raising funds to buy wheelchairs to those in need but who cannot afford them, said Retha Strydom, Namibia Medical Care (NMC)'s Fund Administrative Officer.

She said one of the highlights of the event was Jan Mohr’s first rugby team that was responsible for pushing the participants in wheelchairs.
The event was organised by NMC and Methealth. It was a five-kilometre walk event.
Last week Alna Louw, Methealth's Wellness Coordinator, said by participating, the public showed its support for people in need of wheelchairs.
The organisers also considered medical services and thus arranged with E-Med Rescue to provide emergency medical services if required.
