"Giving back"

Dear family & friends,

In life I fulfil many roles. The most fulfilling of all has been that of a mother.

Sport was a big part of my life growing up, something my children had never witnessed me do. Hence in 2021 I decided to run my first full Marathon. After hours of training, I successfully completed the Cape Town marathon in Oct that year. My first run was dedicated to my children. To keep them motivated I felt I had to lead by example. Since then, I have entered many races & each one entered with a goal.

This time I run to “Give back”. To give back to a place I once called my ‘home away from home’. A school like no other…Dr Grahams Homes.

A school that has spent over a century caring for the needs of children most in need.

Yes, I too was a child who had her education sponsored. I spent 10 months of the year at a school far away from my family, who I visited once a year. I was extremely fortunate to gain values such as compassion & kindness which I now pass down to my children.

Today I raise funds to fix the schools Technical/Library block roof. Work for which begins in Dec 2024.

To pay it forward I have entered the Canterbury Half Marathon on the 8th of December in Christchurch New Zealand.

I need your support to keep me motivated to achieve my goal while I put my time and effort into training. Every donation no matter how small will make a difference.

Many might not have to give. Please leave me a message of encouragement instead.

Will see u on the other end of the "Finish Line."
