Personal message
My name is Leilani Kuter (47) - Gauteng. This year marks 29 years of survival after I was brutally raped and left for dead on 16 September 1992. Speaking up and sharing my story to inspire other victims to live their lives has been a big part of my healing in the wake of this horrifying incident.
I will be walking 29 hours on the 16th of September 2021 to raise awareness and funds for GBV. This is my 3rd annual walk, I did 729km in 2019 and 448km in 2020 and have decided to walk 29 hours in 2021 on 16th-17th September, the day my ordeal (raped and left for dead) happened in 1992.
The funds will cover all costs to make all my walks during the year (16 September 2021 - 15 September 2022) possible. Leilani has done over 2500km's in dedication walks for other survivors.
The funds will be used to give free self-defence classes to people in disadvantaged areas during 16-day of activism and after that.
