The Ultimate Human Race: “This is it – Ziyasha”

Comrades is a “big” race, that requires a whole heap of discipline, dedication, and determination. We are appealing to you to make your comrades 2023 down run count!

Run for a purpose! Run for children fighting cancer!

Every year in South Africa, almost 1000 children are diagnosed with cancer. Our socio-economic challenges, and generally poor level of awareness of the warning signs of childhood cancer, mean that many these children are diagnosed very late into their illness. As a result, they face a difficult battle against their illness, and sadly, for many of our children, treatment just comes too late.

Experts in South Africa estimate that around two-thirds of childhood cancers in our country remain un-reported, which means that closer to 3000 children every year get cancer. Just not all will get a chance to receive treatment.

Rainbows and Smiles is a community-based, charitable foundation dedicated to providing holistic support to children diagnosed with cancer, and their families.

We are grateful for your generosity, your trust, and most importantly your commitment to our mission.
