Sanlam Marathon- Running for Amy Foundation

I am Giovanni Afrika and this year I’m taking on the Sanlam Marathon. Standing at the starting line of a 42km race is always a challenge, but this time, my "why" is much bigger than the finish line. I am running to raise R9,000 for the Amy Foundation, a cause that is incredibly close to my heart.

I have always believed that every young person deserves a fair shot at success. The Amy Foundation provides an exceptional foundation for our youth and offers the opportunities they truly need to succeed.

So, I am running because I want to be a part of that foundation and support a child who needs it the most.

My target of R9,000 is not just a number, it is the cost of sponsoring one learner (aged 6–18) in the After School Programme. For many children in our townships, the hours after school are the most dangerous. It is a time where they are most vulnerable to the "plagues" of gangsterism, crime, teen pregnancy, and illiteracy. I want to help change that narrative. Your donation will help pull a learner out of those risks and place them in a safe, nurturing environment...
