There are various starting points that people can come and make their donations.
The final destination will be Pick n Pay Hyper by the Sea, where there will be a designated area where people can take clothes, financial or even canned food donations.
There will also be some special guests who will help educate and help spread the word to stop GBV.
Listen to part 2 of the interview where Heather, Pravesh and Justin explain what the Winter run event is all about.
Following the recent flooding in KZN, the bike club community in Durban wanted to help out people in any possible way.
