Personal message

Support the SPEAR Reit Limited/ A New Breath Optimist dinghy in The Great Optimist Race and help us make it first across the finishing line and onto the Fundraising Leader board.

We will raise funds for The Little Optimist Trust and A NEW BREATH.
Tanya Bothma is a bilateral lung transplant survivor, the first recipient to receive a lung transplant in our very own State Sector hospital, Groote Schuur.

She raises money to help other lung patients within Groote Schuur get a New Breath while creating awareness around Organ and Tissue Donation.

This year Prof. Greg Calligaro will be skippering the little boat. He is a senior specialist in the division of Pulmonology at Groote Schuur hospital and the medical lead of the heart and lung transplant programme.

Funds raised will go to the Transplant patients fund, which supports travel, accommodation and other expenses for patients and their families during the intensive period of their post-transplant care.
