L2L raises record amount for The Butterfly Centre
The Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse (L2L) ladies completed their annual fourday, 100 km walk from 12 – 15 March this year.
The walkers started looking for sponsors and donations towards the end of 2019 already and, despite worries about raising funds due to the poor economic situation in South Africa, managed to raise yet another record amount for the main beneficiary, which was The Butterfly Centre.

"This year's walk was very blessed," says L2L Chairperson Ronelle van Zyl. "Not only did we have the founder of our main beneficiary, Jami Kastner, join us for the first time this year, but we were also so close to not being able to have the walk at all, due to the Coronavirus outbreak in South Africa."
Gatherings of more than 100 people were banned shortly after the ladies got back from the walk, and not long after that, South Africans went into lockdown.
