COMRADES 2020 ..... Let's go Viral !!

Following the amazing generosity of everyone who supported my fundraiser in celebration of my 20th consecutive Comrades Marathon in 2019, a number of people have asked me to provide this opportunity again in 2020. So here it is - supporting the orphans of our country through World Vision South Africa!
World Vision South Africa is one of the official Comrades Marathon charities, and one that we have personally supported for many years.
Organizations that care for children are always special!
As this will be my 21st consecutive Comrades Marathon, perhaps the goal needs to be R21,000 for World Vision?
So....I invite donations of R21, R210 (R2,100?!?) or really, just what you feel led to donate.... Thank-you so much!

Just as Comrades is achieved one step at a time - this goal will be achieved one donation at a time! Please spread the word to family, friends and work colleagues!
