Sport was my opportunity, my “Amathuba”. This opportunity has provided me with a career, puts food on the table for my family, and allowed me to travel the world and work at some of the biggest global sporting events. It provided me with an opportunity to be educated with a sporting bursary at high school, which led to a tertiary bursary and eventually my career. “To whom much is given, much is expected”

I’d like to pay it forward and support a foundation that supports kids like me. I’d like help a sporting athlete of any ability to participate in a sporting tour without parents or schools extending themselves or having a child miss an opportunity to experience the magic of sport.

With your support, we can help cultivate this love for sport and allow a young man or woman to participate and gain experiences and memories with their peers, while having fun and exploring their “Amathuba”.

I will be running two marathons in two months which was essentially double the challenge of my 2023 campaign. The races will be 48KM or the 30 miler at the Karkloof 100 mile race on the 23rd of August 2024. The second marathon will be the Cape Town marathon, a month later on the 20th October 2024.

The goal is to raise funds for an organization called Amathuba, who provide bespoke mentoring for students receiving bursaries at KZN high schools.

The funds will be used to support students attending sporting tours during their high school journey. In 2023 we were able to raise R8000.00 which went towards sports equipment, kit and tours for an Amathuba foundation mentee, this year I aim to raise R20,000.00 during this campaign.
