Personal Message:
Lacing up my shoes for one of the world’s most iconic ultra-marathon, the Comrades Marathon for me is more than just a personal goal - it is a journey of commitment driven by a deep sense of purpose, breaking the barriers and can-do attitude irrespective of the circumstances. This year, on my 4th comrades marathon, I will be lace up not only to test my physical limits but as an act of kindness that support a cause close to my heart: early childhood and youth development. Why this choice? Simply put, I do believe that every child, regardless of their background, deserves an opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive. The Comrades Marathon is not an easy feat, it can be tough and grueling, covering about 90 kilometres. But when I think of children and youth in underprivileged communities who are up against not just physical barriers, but systemic ones that limit their access to education and support—it puts everything into perspective. Whether on the road or off road, everyone is welcome join in this act of kindness. Thank you for being part of this journey with me!!
