Personal message

I grew up in an era where shoes were not a priority to both parents and school teachers, we attended classes barefooted, heels cracked and bleeding. Looking at the current generation I doubt if it's possible for them to survive the harsh conditions.

We experienced and that's the reason I've decided to join any initiative that's intended to support needy school children, particularly in rural South Africa. I appeal to you my fellow citizens to support me when I'm running 400km initiative intended to raise funds for 2000 schools in the country.

With your support, I'm confident that I can reach my minimum target. Let's bring smiles to these young future leaders of our nation.

The Icons Journey Marathon Foundation

We are The Icons Journey Marathon Foundation, A nonprofit subsidiary of The Icons Journey Marathon (Pty) Ltd multi-sporting event.

We are looking to raise enough funds to continue the good work we started in 2018 through our CSI initiative named Promote Sport For Social Change. We are promoting the sport to uplift our underprivileged rural and township communities. Over the years special focus has been on the schools in these communities.
Funds raised from this 400km Iconic Challenge will benefit over 4000 of these school kids in school shoes, sanitary towels, sports kits Nationally.

The event takes place in Eastern Cape in three district municipalities namely (Amathole, Chris Hani, and O.R Tambo Districts). Funds raised will however benefit schools Nationally.

Since 2018 we have been able to raise funds that have benefited over 500 village and township school pupils. With this initiative, we will amplify this number.
