Dear Friends
Yep we made it! We finally completed the Big "C" in a time of 11h 44m 27s to finish in positions
7540 & 7541.
More importantly though was the fact that CHOC benefitted from some coverage and, thanks to your
generosity, some much needed funds.
Up until today (17th June 2008) we have managed to raise R 14118.00 for CHOC's transport fund. We thank each and every one of you who contributed so generously in terms of money, encouragement, and prayers.
We have kept this site open for anyone who would still like to contribute to this worthy cause.
A special thank you must go out to our wives who supported us 200%. We could not have done it
without your support. We love you gals!
Thank You and God Bless
Mark and Mike

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA is the only organisation in South Africa that provides comprehensive countrywide support for children with cancer and other life-threatening blood disorders, and their families. CHOC has a head office in Johannesburg, six regional offices, two branches, and 12 accommodation facilities close to treatment centres. CHOC relies heavily on corporate sponsors, donations from groups or individuals wanting to make a difference in the lives of these little ones.
Their comprehensive support improves the welfare and quality of care of children with cancer and offers families a wide range of psychosocial services and practical support such as counselling, free accommodation, free transport and transport fund to ensure that no child abandons treatment due to the family not affording transport costs, food parcels as they recognise the financial difficulties families often face and parent to parent support groups. CHOC also plays a leading advocacy role and promotes early detection to save lives nationally.
