In an effort to give something back to a sport which has given me so much in recent years, I have teamed up with The JAG Foundation to raise funds for their Mighty Metres initiative. Raising sufficient funds for the Foundation will not only open the door for participation in the 2010 New York City Marathon but assist in the development of South Africa's athletes of tomorrow.
The JAG Foundation was founded by Greg James, and is headed by Elana Meyer. Their developmental sports programs are aimed at the social upliftment of disadvantaged youth in Cape Town, East London and Port Elizabeth, using sport and education as their vehicle of choice. Their flagship program is the Mighty Metres- an in school running program for primary school children. The JAG Foundation started Mighty Meters as a result of an initial alliance with New York Road Runners Foundation (the official charity of the ING NYC Marathon).The program is based on Mighty Milers Program, run by the New York Road Runners Foundation.
