Over the past three years, I’ve committed to pushing my physical and mental limits by taking on endurance events—not just for the challenge, but to make a difference. Each year, I’ve dedicated these efforts to raising funds for charities in need, and together with your support, we’ve been able to contribute meaningfully to some incredible causes.

This year, I’m taking on my biggest challenge yet: the Comrades Marathon on 8 June—a legendary 90km run between Pietermaritzburg and Durban. It will be my first Comrades, and I’ve set myself the ambitious goal of finishing it in under 10 hours.

I’ll be running in honour of Hospice, an organisation that brings comfort, dignity, and care to people during the most vulnerable time of their lives. The work they do is nothing short of heroic—and they need our help.

My goal is to raise R100,000 for Hospice, and I’m calling on my friends, family, and colleagues to help me get there. Every rand counts. Every donation helps provide essential care and support to those who need it most.

If you’d like to be part of this journey with me, please click on donate to make a contribution.

Together, we can turn each step of this race into something far greater than a finish line. Thank you for your support, belief, and generosity.
