Personal message

My name is Paula Heuff, and this year I will be running the 89 km ‘Ultimate Human Race’, to support our lesser-known heroes and heroines, working hard to make the world a better place.

The spirit of the Comrades Marathon is all about selflessness, dedication, perseverance and Ubuntu. In South Africa, we have countless charities and NPOs striving to improve the world. These organisations play a vital role in tackling important social issues, preserving natural resources, assisting underserved communities, and even providing life-saving services.

This year, keeping to the spirit behind the Comrades, I am running to support not one, but 14 different charities! Each of these entities does amazing work that needs be recognised and supported. They are (in alphabetical order):

  • Adopt-a-River
  • Caversham Education Institute
  • Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW)
  • Duzi-Umngeni Conservation Trust (DUCT)
  • Game Rangers Association of Africa
  • International Sailors’ Society of Southern Africa
  • Kerr House
  • Liberty NPO
  • National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI)
  • One Planet SA
  • Project Rhino
  • Singakwenza Early Childhood Education
  • Wildlife ACT
  • WILDTRUST

Please join me in supporting a great cause… In fact, 14 incredible causes! Every Rand counts and will go directly to these deserving organizations. Together we can make a positive impact and help create a better world for us all!

Oceans 8 Charity Swim NPC

Charity Default Logo

The Oceans 8 Charity Swim is South Africa's first warm water ocean swim of its kind, exclusively for charity.

It has been started by 5 charities (DUCT, NSRI, Project Rhino, Singakwenza and WILDTRUST) to provide a reliable and sustainable flow of funding to deserving non-profits with a footprint in KwaZulu-Natal, to support their work and allow them to continue to engage in and deliver on projects which have an impact and influence on education, environment, community development and upliftment for those most in need. 

The inaugural Oceans 8 Charity Swim will be held on the 16th & 17th (18th) June 2023 at the Durban Undersea Club, with the 5 founding charities benefitting from the 8 Mile swimmers, and 9 invitational charities benefitting from the 1 Mile swimmers.
