Personal message
I've wanted to run the Comrades as long as I can remember. After a morning run and afternoon drinks, my friend Ryan Butt and I decided that 2017 would be the year!
To make the event meaningful beyond my own personal journey, I'll be running in the name of The Teddy Bear Clinic Foundation. The work these amazing people are doing is not only life changing for the children and families they work with, but is vitally important if we want to end the vicious cycle of sexual abuse. The team works holistically and with great care, ensuring that every child and their family is treated with respect and understanding.
My goal is to raise R10,000 for the foundation. This will translate into helping approximately 10 children on their Journey to Healing.
I'm reaching out to everyone reading this to donate! Donate and help these families heal. Donate to be a part of the journey and stop the cycle of abuse.
For more info, please visit their site at www.ttbc.org.za
Thank you all!
Kerry

Statistics
The Teddy Bear Foundation

The Teddy Bear Clinic for Abused Children (TTBC) originated in 1986 in response to an urgent need for medical examinations for sexually abused children. From there it has grown into a fully fledged service for abused children which includes: Forensic medical examinations, forensic assessments, counseling, psychological testing and more recently a diversion programme for youth sexual offenders. As an NGO, our concern is not only to support children and families affected by abuse but also to promote: “CHILD ABUSE NO MORE”.
