Hi all, my name is Sabine. When I turned 48, I was not a runner. Running seemed boring, but that was just my excuse, as I was not doing any other exciting sport either. 

I worked as a physiotherapist, including teaching Pilates classes, ran a household for my family consisting of hubby and two boys, completed a Master's in Physiotherapy part-time, and deemed myself sporty (since I had been very sporty at school sports level). My sister encouraged me to run a half marathon with her, and I started training for Meiringspoort 2015.

My life changed; I went on to run several marathons, 3 Two Oceans, 4 Comrades, 3 PUFfeRs, 3 Skyruns, and I have done a multi-day 13 Peaks with my Hout Bay Trail Runners and loads of other races. I have not stopped running … and the running has been all for myself. 

I have gained the fitness; stamina to deal with 12-hour physical workdays whilst being a wife and mother; I made friends with amazing like-minded individuals who have become close friends, including Vuyo Spamla; and I have gotten to enjoy the mountains around Cape Town and further afield as my running moved to include the trails.

When the three musketeers of Friends of Child Protection cornered me whilst shopping at my local Woolies and asked me to run 13 peaks to generate funds for Friends of Child Protection, I realised that this is something my running has not done, help others.

What are 13 Peaks? Ryan Sandes's brainchild is a 100km, 6000m ascent route tagging 13 peaks of the Cape Peninsula…on foot. It is not a race; it is an opportunity to experience the beautiful nature that surrounds Cape Town. The Challenge is to get to the top of all 13 Peaks. That's it. But, if you want that extra Challenge, try completing it in 48 hours.

I am 57 years young, looking forward to spending long hours training with Vuyo in our beautiful Cape Town mountains for a run that will help others.

Friends of Child Protection (FCP) packs comfort packs handed out to child abuse victims in the Western Cape. FCP focuses on supporting these victims in the first few hours of trauma by giving each child a comfort pack. They rely entirely on donations. 

All involved work voluntarily to keep costs down, which means they manage to give the children between 94% and 100% of their funds. The number of packs requested consistently exceeds the number they can supply. December sadly needs more packs packed than any other month. 

Our 13 Peaks for Friends of Child Protection (13P4FCP) will hopefully generate funds to support the December pack, and Vuyo and I need your help to be able to reach every child in need this December.

An average of 1200 comfort packs are packed every two months at between R85000 and R100,000 for each pack. All the funds for this campaign will go towards the December 2022 pack.

Sabine and Vuyo are aiming to run the 13 peaks challenge on 29 October 2022, or as close to that date as possible, as the weather allows.

Friends of Child Protection

Friends of Child Protection Logo

For the past 20 years, Friends of Child Protection (FCP) has packed comfort, dignity and love into over 92000  comfort packs for boys and girls who have survived abuse.

With the help of volunteers and financial support from donors, big and small, FCP aims to pack over 1000 comfort packs every 60 days. The comfort packs are distributed throughout the Western Cape to children by the SAPS Family Violence and Child Protection Units; Thuthuzela Care Centres; Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital; Victoria Hospital; Wynberg Sexual Offences Courts and Safeline Child Abuse Treatment and Prevention Centres. 

Comfort packs contain a snack pack, toiletries and sanitary wear, underwear, an activity pack and a soft toy, mostly a hand-knitted teddy bear crafted by one of our volunteers. We also collect clothing (new and gently worn) which we distribute to the Thuthuzela Care Centres and other places of safety where women and children seek refuge.
