HESSEQUA NEWS - Slipper Day is on 11 May. Buy a R10 wristband, rock your slippers and help raise money for Reach For A Dream.

It's a special time of the year when ordinary South Africans, celebrities and Wimpy join forces to support the incredible work done by Reach For A Dream.

This year R10 buys you a Slipper Day wristband, which can be redeemed for a free Famous Wimpy coffee and the right to rock your slippers all day long in public.

Reach For A Dream is one of South Africa's most loved charities established in 1988.

The organisation makes dreams come true for children suffering from serious, often terminal, illnesses.

It gives children the gift of fun and adventure - joyful parts of life they are often denied due to their illness.

Through Reach For A Dream, hundreds of South African kids have been able to enjoy the simple things many of us take for granted, like birthday parties. They are also often given the chance to explore the extraordinary, by swimming with dolphins, for instance, or meeting their lifelong heroes.
