Rise Against Hunger

Personal Message:

Imagine running a race so gruelling, so challenging, that every step feels like a challenge, yet each stride brings you closer to victory. This is the essence and camaraderie of the Comrades Marathon, an ultimate test of endurance, courage and human spirit. For me, the Comrades Marathon is not just a race; it's a symbol of overcoming obstacles, pushing limits and achieving the impossible. I will also use this opportunity to raise funds for Rise Against Hunger Africa, which is a non-profit organisation that plays an active role to prevent hunger and malnutrition. Globally, around 820 million people do not have enough to eat, and hunger rations are towards an upward trajectory. Estimates suggest that one in five children, go to bed hungry every night and the recent economic and natural events have exacerbated the situation. Providing good nutrition to children between the ages of 1 to 6 is critical as these formative and development years of a child's life are crucial for a brighter and healthier future. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference to alleviate hunger and malnutrition in South Africa. Please support this worthy cause. "It all starts with a meal" Knowing that I could feed a starving child whilst achieving my aspirations has made my endeavours even more worthwhile. Rise Against Hunger has done and continues to do impactful work to fight starvation in Africa. Let us all fight hunger together.
