Personal message

I live in Knysna and our area is the playground of adventure racing. I love the outdoors and enjoy multisports as opposed to just focusing on one discipline. This year I have decided to take part in the Expedition Africa Race, a 500km multidiscipline race including mountain biking, trekking, kayaking, and rope work all in Aid of STEPS. 

I will be racing with a guy I only met a few days ago. His name is Jet de Wet, he is 29 and comes from up country. He called me on Monday and asked if I would race with him as his partner had pulled out. It is only the two of us. Most teams have four members. Turns out that Jet has had a tough life, moved a lot, broken home. I lost my husband to cancer last year and am 47, so we make an interesting combination.

 I know Karen (The founder of STEPS) and Alex (her son) and believe that the work the foundation has done is a worthwhile cause with measurable results. One in every 500 children are born with clubfeet and seeing as this is a 500 km race, it makes sense to dedicate it to STEPS for the wonderful work they do.

Please consider making a contribution to my campaign and helping more kids to walk, run and play!

Our core purpose is to improve the lives of children born with the common birth defect clubfoot by preventing disability.

 

Clubfoot should never define a child’s future. Every R2500 raised supports one child's treatment journey to full mobility and the joy of an active life.
