So excited to share that Walnut on Russell (along with Wanaka Physiotherapy) was proud to gift one of the amazing raffle prizes to for their annual fun walk! 💕

It was such an awesome morning — full of dress-ups, smiles, cupcakes, and incredible community spirit! 🏃‍♀️🎀🧁

Final totals are still being counted, but it’s looking like their most successful event yet! 🙌

For anyone who doesn’t know, Pinc & Steel raises funds for essential cancer rehabilitation — an area with no government support. Every dollar goes directly to helping those who need it most. 💪💗

A truly special cause worth backing! 🌸
