Running for a Cause – Supporting Community Chest and Early Childhood Development (ECD) This year, I’ve decided to dedicate my Comrades Marathon – the Ultimate Human Race - to making a difference! I’m proud to be supporting Community Chest, an incredible organisation which supports 65 Early Childhood Development Centre’s throughout KZN. Why Community Chest and ECD? Community Chest works tirelessly to support ECD Centres who prioritise the physical, emotional, social, and educational development of children under the age of five. The first 1000 days of a child’s life are the biggest determinates of how successful their future will be. If they received the right nutrition, education, healthcare, exercise, and emotional support during this vital time, they are more likely to matriculate, complete tertiary education and become a contributing member of society – giving back to the province and their community. Children don’t get to choose the circumstances they are born into, but as adults, we CAN choose to help. Every kilometre I run on Sunday, 8 June 2025 is dedicated to raising awareness and funds to support these children. How YOU can help? Your support, no matter how big or small, can make a real difference, every cent counts toward giving under-resourced children the opportunity of a bright future. Please support my Race4Charity Comrades initiative!
