Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate. Your contribution to this page will benefit the charity listed on the left.
It was undoubtedly one of the hardest comrades marathons I have ever run, but there is no doubt that the incredible support and generosity shown by everyone carried me to the finish.
Battling with nausea from the early stages of the race I was bent over hurling my heart out at about 16kms to go and I looked up to see a CHOC banner with a crowd of supporters, what an inspiration. That was a clear indication that I had no choice but to finish. I reached the top of Polly Shorts with 8km's to do in 56 minutes. A tough ask after just on 80km's. With the committment to finishing this year's comrades knowing that the children of CHOC would be benefitting, I had to dig deep and run. I beat the gun with a time of 11h59m34s.
Thank you all for the support and generosity you have shown for the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation they are really the true winners in the end.
Together with the donations directly to CHOC we have raised R17199 to date, this page will stay open to see if we can get to that target of R25000.
Please donate generously.
Many thanks for your support.

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation |
CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation is a country wide voluntary organisation. It brings together the parents of children who suffer from all varieties of cancer or life threatening blood disorders. Funds raised are applied to directly benefit the children and their families, and to those involved in the treatment of these most serious illnesses. The goal of this dedicated group is to improve the welfare and quality of care for children with cancer. The organisation provides direct practical help to children with cancer, from diagnosis onwards, recognising the inevitable disruption to family life when a child faces vigorous and often lengthy treatment. The name CHOC (an abbreviation of "Childrens Haematology Oncology Clinics") was used by the first local parent group, established in 1979. In 2000 a new national organisation was formed, linking parent groups in all parts of the country. |
