Personal message
There can be no greater gift than that of giving one's time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return" Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.
From 03rd - 10th July 2022 I will be running 400km The Icon Journey Challenge to try to raise funds through the back-a-buddy online platform. My purpose and goal are to raise funds to benefit 2000 underprivileged school kids with uniforms and school shoes across the country.
Your donation will go a long way in ensuring that I achieve my goal of assisting schools. Of course, none of this would be possible without the generous support from the community.

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.
