Personal message
I am running the Two Oceans Half Marathon for the charity The Cape Kidney Association. The Cape Kidney Association was founded in 1978 by a group of Nephrology Doctors and Nurses who saw the need to assist the Indigent kidney patients. Patients travel from afar as there are no dialysis units close by. We serve majority patients in the Renal Unit at Groote Schuur and Tygerberg Hospitals. Most of the patients are unemployed and some of them receive disability grants.
Most of you know that my father in law, Pete Evertse is currently in renal failure and has dialysis every second day, so this charity is close to my heart! I have not set any limit on minimum donations or capped a target - every contribution no matter how big or how small will make a difference!
