Thank you for visiting THE GUNS’ donation page!
We're just a group of everyday lads and ladies with two awesome things in common:
1) We're running the GUN RUN!
2) We think that supporting charities that look after the most vulnerable people in society is not just a good thing to do, but that it’s also a pretty damn cool thing to do.
Between us we've got some cool individual goals for the run:
Nancy: To WIN her age category! (Grandmaster Ladies). And maybe a set new course record? #WINNING
Karl: FIRST HALF MARATHON EVER! This is also amazing because Karl was very much a non-runner not so long ago! #FIRSTHALFMARATHON
Edward: First Sub 100 minute half marathon - which would be amazing as he only took up running seriously this year! #PROGRESS
Damian: 76 minutes (that’s 3:36 minutes a km). #FLIPTHATSFAST
Leigh: Another sub 2 hour half marathon! #SOFASTTHATHERBOYFRIENDHASTOMAKEEXCUSESNOTTORUN
Kath, Candice and Don: Have fun! #SOFLIPPINGLAZY
As a group we’re simply raising some funds for an amazing organizational called Ikamva Labantu; they work with Early Childhood Development projects as well as programs for the Elderly in the townships around Cape Town. They’re amazing people doing amazing work in the most amazing city in the world! In South Africa, our two most vulnerable groups of people are young children and older adults. These groups also play a pivotal role in our society – our young children are the future of our country and we want to support them so that they can get the education they need to live successful lives and play a key role in South Africa’s future prosperity. Our older adults make significant practical, financial, social, and emotional contributions to households where whole generations have often been lost due to communicable diseases and unemployed grandparents are raising grandchildren. Help us to help
these vulnerable, valued groups of individuals!

In the early 1960s, Helen Lieberman and other courageous activists responded to the unjust conditions of South African Apartheid by setting up survival initiatives in the Western Cape. In 1992, the coordination of these initiatives was formalised and Ikamva Labantu, meaning “Future of The People”, was launched as a non-governmental and non-profit organisation. Ikamva Labantu’s work focuses on early childhood development, the well-being of older persons and after-school initiatives that keep children safe and off the streets.
