Johannesburg Cubs is once again the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation project, which will benefit from funds raised from this year's Discovery 702 Walk the Talk, as the official charity of the event.

Hosted at the Braamfischerville Cricket Oval in Soweto, the visit formed part of the station's Youth Day celebrations and generated excitement for the forthcoming Walk on Sunday, 22 July 2012.

Laureus Foundation SA chairman, Morné du Plessis, Laureus ambassador and trustee Lucas Radebe, Bizhub Highveld Lions players Pumelela Matshikwe, Dwaine Pretorius, Ethan O'Reilly and Eddie Leie as well as Miss Teen South Africa, Celeste Khumalo, joined Robbie to celebrate the power of sport.

Jody Foster, head of sponsorships at Discovery said, "We are driven by a very simple ethos of making people healthier and being a force for social good. Our involvement with the Walk speaks directly to this ethos. Over 50 000 people take to the streets for their health and to support a worthy cause like the Johannesburg Cubs."

Hush Puppies is the official footwear sponsor for the Discovery 702 Walk the Talk, for the second year running.
