Rise Against Hunger

Personal Message:

Help Me Make a Difference with Rise Against Hunger As I prepare for my 20th Comrades Marathon—a milestone marking two decades of this incredible journey—I aim to earn the coveted Double Green laurel. This year’s race holds even greater significance, as it symbolizes resilience and recovery following my prostate cancer diagnosis in 2024. Running for a cause close to my heart, I am dedicating this milestone to Rise Against Hunger, a remarkable organization fighting to end hunger and create lasting change. My goal is to raise a minimum of R25,000 for their cause, though I secretly hope to achieve at least four times that amount. I know times are tough, and every cent counts, but even a small contribution of R50 can make a meaningful difference—not just in helping me reach this goal, but in supporting families and children who face hunger every day. Rise Against Hunger provides more than just meals. Their nutritional programs deliver food packed with 20 essential vitamins and minerals, offering immediate relief to those in need. But what truly sets them apart is their commitment to breaking the cycle of poverty. By integrating their efforts with education, skills training, and health services, they empower communities to achieve long-term food security. Their vision is bold and inspiring: to consistently provide nutritious meals to over 6 million people in educational settings by 2025. Together, we can help make that vision a reality. If you’re able to support, I would be deeply grateful for your donation. Every bit helps, and your generosity will not only contribute to a meaningful cause but also fuel my determination as I take on this special journey. Thank you for being part of this incredible mission with me.
