ONE of Ethelbert Child and Youth Care Centre's amazing child care workers Ntuthuko Zulu, is running the Comrades to raise funds for the Home for the second year in-a-row. This father of 15 (five of his own children and 10 boys in the cottage where he is a child care worker) is training hard for his fifth Comrades race on Sunday, 10 June 2018.  This year’s race starts at the City Hall in Pietermaritzburg and finishes in Durban at Moses Mabida stadium for the first time.

Ntuthuko qualified last weekend, completing the Gate Rite Challenge Marathon in 3hrs 35min. He is aiming to earn a ‘Bill Rowan’ medal, completing the 90km race between 7hrs 30min and sub 9hrs 00min.

“It is a down run, which is my favourite. I am hoping to come in early at 8hrs 30min or 8hrs 40 min. The money raised to be used on sporting gear and equipment for Ethelbert’s children. I want to buy sporting equipment for all the sports we offer, athletics, rugby, cricket, hockey and soccer. I would also like to start up our own gymnasium,” he said.

Ethelbert is inviting the public to join them in giving Ntuthuko encouragement and support in his last few weeks of preparation for this grueling run.

Our fundraising target is R15 000.
