Last year, I joined 23 runners taking on the Cape Town Marathon, Peace & Trail Runs to raise funds for Operation Smile South Africa. Our goal was R130k for 26 operations – one for every mile of a marathon

We came so close, raising just over R123k, which funded 24.6 new smiles Then race day was cancelled and we never got to reach that final 26.

Now, it’s less than one week until my first ever marathon: the Cape Town Marathon

I’d love to close that loop and turn 24.6 smiles into a full 26 by raising R5,000 in one week!

That’s 50 people x R100

What does R100 look like these days? 2 coffees … a takeaway treat?

If you’d like to help, please click here. And if you supported before, thank you – I completely understand if not again this year. But if you can, it would mean the world

Finally, a huge Shout Out to @walmers_athletic . Thanks to their incredible community of supportive, caring runners, I’m lining up for this marathon. I nearly gave up but they pulled me through .
