Join me on a journey with a purpose! I'm Dawid de Wet and I am embarking on a unique challenge to conquer the mighty Compasberg barefoot to raise funds for the Dangerous Darkies Junior Football team in uMazizake, Graaff-Reinet. Our goal is to provide these talented young athletes with the soccer boots, balls and kit they need to pursue their passion for the game.
Compassberg (2502m) is the highest peak in the Sneeuberg range and second highest in the Eastern Cape. The vegetation along the climb is montane grassveld. There are 360° views of the Karoo from the summit. Apparently during the Anglo Boer War the heliograph world record was set here by British troops who managed to send a message to the Cockscomb mountain near the coast.
While I take on the challenge of climbing Compasberg barefoot, I invite you to show your support by joining me to climb (with or without shoes) and making a contribution to cover the cost of a pair of soccer boots. Your generous donation will directly impact the lives of these young players and help them thrive on the field. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these aspiring footballers and empower them to achieve their dreams. Your support will help create opportunities for these young athletes and enable them to reach their full potential in the sport they love.
Our aim is to raise enough money to fully kit out the whole u9 and u11 teams with tekkies, soccer boots, training kit and playing kit... and if we can secure enough sponsors, taking them on tour to take part in a Soccer Festival.
Join me in this meaningful cause and be a part of something special. Let's climb Compasberg together and help provide the Dangerous Darkies team with the equipment they need to succeed.
Thank you for your support and generosity. Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of these young athletes.
