Hi all,
I'm off to London to run a marathon! Unbelievably fortunate to be given the opportunity two years in a row! A huge thank you to Investec for pulling my name out the hat. Last year’s goal was just to finish the marathon, my first in 5 years, in a respectable time and this year my intention is to be far better prepared with a more ambition goal time. My training program is up and running…
After considering numerous excellent charities, I have once again decided to fund raise for Gifts of the Givers. Gifts of the Givers are a humanitarian organization that strives to uplift the most valuable and marginalized communities in South Africa and beyond. Their six focus areas are disaster response, hunger alleviation, water provision, healthcare, education, and human development. Dr Imtiaz Sooliman unselfish commitment and leadership are an inspiration and a testament to what can be achieved when an organization is motivated and focused. I’d encourage you to look though some of the amazing projects this foundation has been involved in over the years (https://giftofthegivers.org/).
Thank you for supporting my fundraising efforts, make sure to track me on the day of the marathon – 23 April 2023.
